<li>Proven track record of moving models out of Jupyter Notebooks and into production environments using containerization (Docker) and microservice design.</li>
<li>Strong proficiency in writing complex, optimized SQL queries and experience handling large-scale data using distributed computing frameworks like PySpark or Ray.</li>
<li>Experience with machine learning lifecycle tools (such as MLflow, DVC, or Weights & Biases) for model tracking, versioning, and feature store management.</li>
<li>Hands-on experience leveraging cloud data infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and managed ML services (e.g., SageMaker or Vertex AI).</li>
