MLOps Coffee Sessions #100 with Matthijs Brouns, MLOps Critiques co-hosted by David Aponte.

// Abstract
MLOps is too tool-driven, don't let FOMO drive you to pick the latest feature/model/evaluation/ store but pay closer attention to what you actually need to release more safely and reliably.

// Bio
Matthijs is a Machine Learning Engineer, active in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. His current work involves training MLEs at Xccelerated.io. This means Matthijs divides his time between building new training materials and exercises, giving live trainings, and acting as a sparring partner for the Xccelerators at their partner firms, as well as doing some consulting work on the side.

Matthijs spent a fair amount of time contributing to their open scientific computing ecosystem through various means. He maintains open source packages (scikit-lego, seers) as well as co-chairs the PyData Amsterdam conference and meetup.
