Spearheaded the adoption of MLOps practices for a federal agency, bridging the gap between data science development and production-ready deployments. I guided three cross-functional teams through the full model lifecycle while ensuring all outputs met rigorous governance and compliance standards. I established best practices for:
Model Development: From efficient feature engineering and hyperparameter tuning with flyte workflows.
Deployment: Transitioning models from user testing to production environments.
Operations: Publishing interactive dashboards and implementing proactive model performance monitoring.
Compliance: Automating the collection of evidence for model governance policies.
