ModelDevelopment and Deployment - Model Deployment:

-        EnsuresML model readiness for deployment by scaling models, cleaning model code, andensuring production quality standards are met.

-        Automatesmachine learning workflows, from data extraction, transformation, and loading(ETL) to model deployment and monitoring, to establish the continuousintegration and continuous delivery of machine learning solutions.

ModelDevelopment and Deployment - Model Performance:

-        Createsinfrastructure and frameworks to monitor the performance and alignment withdesign criteria of trained models and/or systems.

-        Proactivelymonitors the performance of deployed models and troubleshoots independently orin collaboration with Data Science.

-        Developsnovel metrics that provide analytical insights to non-technical stakeholders onhow well machine learning models are operating.

ModelDevelopment and Deployment - Data Quality:

-        Evaluatespotential issues related to data quality (e.g., bias, fairness), data security,and data privacy, and minimizes their impacts on data analyses and modeling.

-        Engagesin tasks such as data cleaning, preprocessing, and feature identification toprepare for and enable model training.

InternalCollaborations and Impacts - Model Integration and Operation:

-        Maintainsthe partnership between model development and operations, ensuring smoothdeployment and continuous improvement of ML models.

-        Understandsoperational considerations of model deployment (e.g., performance, scalability,stability, maintenance).

-        Providesexpert troubleshooting and debugging support, addresses issues in machinelearning infrastructure and workflow, and creates robust solutions to preventfuture problems.

InternalCollaborations and Impacts - Tool Development:

-        Develops,maintains, and refines tools, platforms, environments, and services forinternal use.

InternalCollaborations and Impacts - Coding and Documentation:

-        Developsefficient, bug-free, medium-complexity code from scratch, and properlymaintains and organizes the existing codebase.

-        Implementsbest practices for version control, code review, and code delivery/deployment.

-        Buildsand maintains professional documentation for technical processes(experimentation, data collection and analyses, model building).

-        Testsand reviews code for bugs.

MachineLearning Expertise:

-        Maintainsfamiliarity with current developments in the machine learning field andintegrates knowledge into model development.

-        Maintainsfamiliarity with the usage and development of third-party machine learningframeworks, packages, and libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras) tocontinuously evaluate their performance and scalability, and integrate theminto production environments.
