Aomoelas Alet, How Did You Start Implementing the Asther?

i was the only deparove of the matim, and i tried to do this myself. But then everything changed when the manageer change in the team. And he said, ok, we have this person here. What is he doing? Is there a way that we can either kick him away, or yes, integrated into the hall e prothe psycle. So it was yest testing ideas, and the outcome was, can we do it? Can we do it quickly? Is this really something useful? Is it something better that we can do? We could get the occos very quickly. I think er massofe is the prolem manager, knowing what we want

// Abstract
After years of failed POCs, then all of a sudden, one of our models is accepted and will be used in production. The next morning, we are part of the main scrum stand-up meeting, and a DevOps guy is assisting us. A strange feeling, unknown to us until then, starts growing on the AI team: we are useful!

Deploying models to production is challenging, but MLOps is more than that. MLOps is about making an AI team useful and iterative from the beginning. And it requires a role that takes care of the technical challenges that this implies, given the experimental nature of the ML field, while also serving the product and business needs. If your AI team does not include this role, maybe it's your time to step up and do it yourself! Today, we will chat with Ale about the transition from being a data scientist to a self-called MLOps engineer. And yes, you'll need to study computer science.

// Bio
Ale was born and raised in a mid-sized town near Malaga in southern Spain. Ale did his bachelor's degree in robotics because it sounded cool, and then he got into machine learning because it was even cooler.
Ale worked in two companies as an ML developer. Now he's on a temporary hiatus to study business and computer science and get a motivation boost.
