Strong product intuition and business acumen — you can connect model improvements to revenue, NPS, and operational metrics and communicate this clearly to executives.

Hands-on coder: proficient in Python and comfortable diving into model code, experiment pipelines, and production systems. 

Experience with large-scale ML infrastructure: familiar with feature stores, model registries, real-time serving, and experimentation platforms.
