Becoming an ML engineer

AI Discussions
1

Hi, I am seeking to become an ML engineer. After completing the basics of Python, Pandas and numpy I have (to my knowledge) completed the basics of Machine learning and Deep learning. I also completed the following course about scikit learn for ML ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeo1K3hjS3uvCeTYTeyfe0-rN5r8zn9rw ) and of tensor flow ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeo1K3hjS3uu7CxAacxVndI4bE_o3BDtO ) . Now I am confused as to what should I be doing next. Most things which I searched lead to a data scientist but I am seeking to build a career in AI

I am a 17 year old. Currently doing my A-levels so please keep in mind while referring to tutorials that as a student I earn barely enough to cover my daily expenses and cannot afford costly tutorials and courses.

thanks in advance for your valuable insights and suggestions

Building a recommendation system is a good choice. Try to build an end to end project. Build the model, convert it to website and also deploy it to server. You can also use Streamlit and can host your model in Heroku like platform.

I Completed an end-to-end potato disease classification. Then I have moved on to improving my knowledge. I am currently on the last course of Deep learning specialization ‘Sequence models’ offered by deeplearning.AI. I was able to secure financial aid so that worked for me. After completing it I plan to undertake the tensor flow specialization
