• Develop reliable, scalable machine learning pipelines on Azure Databricks.
• Design workflows with MLFlow for the effective development, deployment, and monitoring of ML models.
• Optimize the deployment, management, and performance of machine learning models used in AXA applications.
• Stay updated on advancements in MLOps, LLMOps, Azure, and Databricks, identifying opportunities to improve ML capabilities.
