• Introduce modern, scalable frameworks for model monitoring, feature engineering, hyperparameter tuning, and continuous re-training, ensuring robust model performance over time.
• Lead the deployment of models through REST and gRPC APIs, enabling smooth integration with application frontends and real-time user interaction.
• Continuously research, evaluate, and implement the latest MLOps tools, frameworks, and platforms to improve efficiency, scalability, and reliability of ML operations.
• Implement and manage monitoring systems to track model and data performance, proactively identifying and mitigating issues using tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
• Apply best practices in secure data handling and model integrity within ML workflows, ensuring regulatory and security compliance norms.
• Share MLOps knowledge and improvements in ML engineering workflows through internal training sessions and presentations.

Support the next phase of ML pipeline development, focusing on building, maintaining, and monitoring pipelines to handle 10-100x increases in data volume.
