Our guest today is Maria Vecthomova, ML Engineering Manager at Ahold Delhaize and Co-Founder of Marvelous MLOps.

In our conversation, we first talk about code best practices for Data Scientists. We then dive into MLOps, discuss the main components required to deploy a model in production and get an overview of one of Maria's project where she built and deployed a fraud detection algorithm. We finally talk about content creation, career advice and the differences between an ML and an MLOps engineer.
