Link visible for attendees
Alexey Grigorev, the course creator, will officially start the new cohort of the Machine Learning Zoomcamp in this live session. He’ll walk you through the course structure, key topics, and what you’ll build.
What You’ll Learn During the Session

Alexey will walk you through:

What’s included in the course: topics, tools, and hands-on projects

How assignments, feedback, and scoring work

How to approach the material, even if you’re new to ML

What it’s like to learn together with thousands of learners in the DataTalks.Club community

You’ll also have a chance to ask Alexey your questions live.

Thinking About ML Zoomcamp?
ML Zoomcamp is a free 4-month course designed to take you from beginner to advanced ML engineer. It covers the entire ML pipeline, from fundamentals like regression and classification to deployment and deep learning.
The new cohort of the ML Zoomcamp starts on September 15, 2025. You can join it by registering here.

About the Speaker

Alexey Grigorev is the Founder of DataTalks.Club and creator of the Zoomcamp series.
Alexey is a seasoned software and ML engineer with over 10 years in engineering and 6+ years in machine learning. He has deployed large-scale ML systems at companies like OLX Group and Simplaex, authored several technical books including Machine Learning Bookcamp, and is a Kaggle Master with a 1st place finish in the NIPS'17 Criteo Challenge.

Mon, Aug 18, 2025, 10:30 AM UTCFrom Medicine to Machine Learning: How Public Learning Turned into a Career
Link visible for attendees
How do you learn machine learning while studying medicine and turn it into a full-time career? - Pastor Soto

In this episode, we’re joined by Pastor Soto, a Machine Learning Engineer who learned ML through focused online learning and consistent public work. While still in medical school, Pastor took on side projects that led him into machine learning, and the ML Zoomcamp course served as a turning point in his career.

By sharing his work online, Pastor opened the door to job interviews, including at Meta and DeepLearning.AI.

We plan to cover:

How Pastor learned ML while studying medicine

How ML Zoomcamp helped Pastor to get interviews at companies like Meta and DeepLearning AI

Lessons for time-constrained learners: small wins, public updates, and ROI

How to position a non-traditional background (like an MD) in AI interviews

About the speaker:

Pastor Soto is a Machine Learning Engineer and mentor with a practical bias toward shipping. While studying medicine at the university, he took on side work that pulled him into machine learning. The inflection point was ML Zoomcamp: by publishing exercises and projects publicly, he attracted interviews and job offers.

Pastor’s work centers on production ML: moving data, wiring APIs, and feeding LLMs so applications run. He mentors with DeepLearning.AI, leads sections for Stanford’s Code in Place, and writes about focused learning and small, finished steps that compound.

A low-cost, auto-scaling approach to serving ML models - Alexey Grigorev

This is the second workshop in our ML series on ML model deployment.

Building on the FastAPI service created in Part 1, we’ll now show how to deploy that service using Kubernetes, the industry standard for managing containerized applications in production.

In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to deploy machine learning models using serverless infrastructure, specifically AWS Lambda. Serverless deployment is a great alternative to managing your own infrastructure, ideal for lightweight models or infrequent inference.

This session walks you through packaging your model, creating a Lambda function, and exposing it via API Gateway.

What You'll Learn

What serverless means and when to use it

How AWS Lambda works for ML model serving

How to prepare your model for deployment with TensorFlow Lite

How to package your code and dependencies in a Docker image

How to expose your Lambda function using API Gateway

It will be a live demo with practical tips and a chance to ask your questions. This workshop gives you a real feel for how ML models are deployed in real-world environments.

Thinking About ML Zoomcamp?
This workshop reflects topics from Module 9 in ML Zoomcamp, our free 4-month course that takes you from beginner to advanced ML engineer. It covers the fundamentals of ML, from regression and classification to deployment and deep learning.

The new cohort of the ML Zoomcamp starts on September 15, 2025. You can join it by registering here.
