Stefano Bosisio is an accomplished MLOps Engineer with a solid background in Biomedical Engineering, focusing on cellular biology, genetics, and molecular simulations. Reinvent Yourself and Be Curious

// MLOps Podcast #264 with Stefano Bosisio, MLOps Engineer at Synthesia.

// Abstract

This talk goes through Stefano's experience, to be an inspirational source for whoever wants to jump into a career in the MLOps sector. Moreover, Stefano will also introduce his MLOps Course on the MLOps community platform.

// Bio

Stefano Bosisio is an MLOps Engineer with a versatile background that ranges from biomedical engineering to computational chemistry and data science. Stefano got an MSc in biomedical engineering from the Polytechnic of Milan, focusing on cellular biology, genetics, and molecular simulations. Then, he landed in Scotland, in Edinburgh, to earn a PhD in chemistry from the University of Edinburgh, where he developed robust physical theories and simulation methods to understand and unlock the drug discovery problem. After completing his PhD, Stefano transitioned into Data Science, where he began his career as a data scientist. His interest in machine learning engineering grew, leading him to specialize in building ML platforms that drive business success. Stefano's expertise bridges the gap between complex scientific research and practical machine learning applications, making him a key figure in the MLOps field. Bonus points beyond data: Stefano, as a proper Italian, loves cooking and (mainly) baking, playing the piano, crocheting, and running half-marathons.
