Capstone Project: Enterprise RAG + Agent Deployment
Build the full system. Deploy it. Evaluate it. Present it.
Hiring signal: The capstone project is the portfolio artifact that gets FDE interviews. Candidates who build a complete enterprise RAG + agent system with hybrid search, access control, evaluation harness, observability, and a client presentation pass. Candidates who submit a notebook demo without production hardening fail. This project is designed to be the single strongest signal in an FDE portfolio.
What you will learn
- Build a complete enterprise RAG system: document processing, hybrid search, reranking, access control
- Integrate a LangGraph agent with enterprise tools (Salesforce/ServiceNow API simulation)
- Deploy the system on Kubernetes with Docker, observability via LangSmith
- Build an evaluation harness with RAGAS metrics and 100+ test queries
- Write a client presentation using the Minto Pyramid Principle
What You'll Learn
This lesson takes approximately 8-12 hours. By the end, you will be able to:

- Write a client presentation using the Minto Pyramid Principle
The Problem
The capstone project is the portfolio artifact that gets FDE interviews. You'll build a complete enterprise RAG + agent system: document processing, hybrid search, access control, LangGraph agent with enterprise tool integration, Kubernetes deployment, evaluation harness with RAGAS metrics, and a client presentation. This lesson is the project kickoff.
