  • Design and build scalable machine learning operations pipelines for predictive analytics

Professional Growth Opportunities

  • Spearhead the adoption of DataOps and MLOps methodologies
  • Explore applications of emerging technologies in data processing
  • Engage with the open-source community in data engineering projects
  • Provide mentorship and technical leadership to a team of data engineers
