// Abstract
There is a clear pattern that we have been seeing with some of these greats in MLOps. So many use writing as a forcing function to learn about where they have holes in their understanding of something.
If you are not writing, this episode is important as to why writing is important for your own development. Jeremy goes into writing in depth as to how beneficial it is for him to write and for him to see that he doesn't understand something if he cannot re-articulate it in writing.
// Bio
Jeremy is a machine learning engineer currently working at Duo Security, where he focuses on building ML infrastructure to operate threat detection systems at scale. He previously worked at Proofpoint, where he built models for phishing and malware detection.
