How To Become an ML Engineer in 2024 - Max Buckley

Become better at machine learning in 5 min/ week 👉🏻 https://borismeinardus.substack.com/

In this podcast, I had the pleasure to talk to a good friend of mine, Max, who is a senior ML engineer at Google. He started of with a business degree and is now doing very interesting work on ML, both on the engineering and research fronts and has interviewed hundreds of ML engineering candidates for Google. We share a loose roadmap of how to become an ML engineer and much more career advice.
Enjoy 💛
