ML Stepping Stones: Challenges & Opportunities for Companies // John Crousse // Coffee Sessions #67

MLOps Coffee Sessions #67 with John Crousse, ML Stepping Stones: Challenges & Opportunities for Companies co-hosted by Adam Sroka.

// Abstract
In this coffee session, John shares his observations after working with multiple companies which were in the process of scaling up their ML capabilities.

John's observations are mostly around changes in practices, successes, failures, and bottlenecks identified when building ML products and teams from scratch. John shares a few thoughts on building long-term products vs short-term projects, on the important non-ML components, and the most common missing pieces he sees in today's ecosystem. John also elaborates on how those challenges and solutions can differ for different company sizes.

// Bio
John always liked CS/ML/AI but wasn't such a hot topic back then. He found opportunities to work on models in the Financial industry as a consultant from 2007 to 2017 then he went freelance to move outside of the financial industry, and focus on AI/ML.  

John likes to do things efficiently, and MLOps is the bottleneck, so he ended up spending more time on MLOPs than models lately.  

John finished his CS degree in 2007.
