Pune-based MLOps engineer

An engineer who shared job-seeking advice on X.

“If you don't have emerging and the latest skills, you will never get an opportunity in this field. You need to stand out by developing skills that people generally avoid because they are difficult to learn. Upskilling and maintaining an online presence are the only ways to stay ahead and have different job options.”
