What You’ll Bring
✅ Professional experience in end-to-end ML workflows — from data prep and model development to deployment and monitoring
✅ Strong proficiency in Python, with experience using Git/GitHub, Docker, MLflow, and at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
✅ A solid grasp of core ML techniques, with a specialism in at least one area (e.g. NLP/LLMs, Computer Vision, or Generative AI)
✅ Prior teaching, mentoring, or coaching experience — confident delivering to mixed-ability learners
✅ Excellent communication skills and the ability to break down complex ideas into clear, engaging lessons
