Alles ansehen- From Theme Parks to Tesla: Building Data Products That WorkLink für Teilnehmer sichtbar
A conversation with Abouzar Abbaspour on ML engineering, data pipelines, and real-world impact
What does it take to turn raw data into products that millions of people love to use? Abouzar Abbaspour will discuss this based on his experience working with startups, amusement parks, e-commerce, and now Tesla.At Efteling theme park, he built queue-time forecasting and recommendation systems for visitors. At bol.com, he helped deploy a recommendation engine to over 6 million users. And today at Tesla, he works on predictive maintenance and integrates LLM agents into production systems.
In this conversation, Abouzar shares stories from the front lines of data and ML engineering: what succeeds, what fails, and what matters when you move from experiments to production.
We plan to cover:- Forecasting queues and building recommendation systems at a theme park
- Deploying large-scale recommender systems at bol.com
- The leap from data engineering into ML engineering
- Predictive maintenance and LLM agents at Tesla
- Why productionizing ML is about much more than the model
- Which trends in data and ML are hype, and which are here to stay
About the speakerAbouzar Abbaspour is a machine learning and data engineer whose career spans startups, academia, e-commerce, theme parks, and automotive. He co-founded a telecom startup in Iran, worked on forecasting models and recommendation engines at Efteling, and later deployed large-scale ML models at bol.com. Today, at Tesla, he focuses on predictive maintenance, LLM agents, and scalable pipelines. Abouzar holds an EngD in Data Science from Eindhoven University of Technology.

- ML Zoomcamp 2025 Course LaunchLink für Teilnehmer sichtbar
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 SessionAlexey 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 SpeakerAlexey 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.**Join our slack: https://datatalks.club/slack.html**
