Coffee Sessions #73

On Structuring an ML Platform 1 Pizza Team

Breno and Matheus were part of an organizational change at Neoway in recent years. With the creation of cross-functional and platform teams in order to improve the value stream generated by these. They share their experience in creating a machine learning platform team. The challenges they faced along the way, how they approached using product thinking and the results achieved so far.

Take-aways

- Design of teams takes a big influence on the company software architecture and fast flow (team topologies, Conway's law, cognitive load) - Approach a machine learning platform with product thinking help to understand the users and generate more value as a lean team - Have a systemic view of the data science lifecycle in the company and prioritize the points of greatest pain - Internal teams trust internal platform services if they deliver value, are easy to use, and are reliable

Host

Demetrios is one of the main organizers of the MLOps community and currently resides in a small town outside Frankfurt, Germany. He is an avid traveller who taught English as a second language to see the world and learn about new cultures. Demetrios fell into the Machine Learning Operations world, and since, has interviewed the leading names around MLOps, Data Science, and ML. Since diving into the nitty-gritty of Machine Learning Operations he felt a strong calling to explore the ethical issues surrounding ML. When he is not conducting interviews you can find him making stone stacking with his daughter in the woods or playing the ukulele by the campfire.
