On the road to become AI engineer

Hello everyone, i m new here and since the end of my degree (comptability) I m really interested in AI et Angentic system, i m currently following the course too, but I had a question on the path I m going into,

My objective is to become AI/Agentic engineer to be able to create automatic system for myself or for company and try to live with it, honestly i asked Claude a week ago how to do it in autodidact and he gave me a strong roadmap, i just want to know if its really pertinent and if any of u have some advice for my learning :

1) Learning Python (basic like being able to read it / debug / understanding environement / HTTP and JSON request / little project)

2) API LLM (prompt system, how API work, how to use it with JSON, make him use tool in a loop, manage API error and cost per call)

3) Agent & MCP (WorkFlow vs Agent, agentic loop, writing an MCP, real project)

4) Prod & Evals (Git, deploy something that work without me, Logs & monitoring, Evals to test and evaluate quality)

And voilà that is my whole plan for the next 6 month, so if you have advice or see things that aren't coherent or other things to really learn feel free to tell me i take everything to learn the maximum and be able to really do something in some month 😄
