During this time, they have been able to apply these learnings at their jobs and see what works for them. In this one-year anniversary meetup, the three of them will discuss some of the most impactful advice they have received in the last year and how they have put them into practice.//BioDemetrios BrinkmannAt the moment, Demetrios is immersing himself in Machine Learning by interviewing experts from around the world in the weekly MLOps.community meetups.
