Web Scale Engineering for Machine Learning with Sharath Rao

The show you’re about to listen to features my interview with Sharath Rao, Tech Lead Manager & Machine Learning Engineer at Instacart. I reached out to Sharath about being on the show and was blown away when he replied that not only had he heard about the show, but that he was a fan and an avid listener. My conversation with Sharath digs into some of the practical lessons and patterns he’s learned by building production-ready, web-scale data products based on machine learning models, including the search and recommendation systems at Instacart. We also spend a few minutes discussing our upcoming TWIML Paper Reading Meetup! A quick note before we dive in: As is the case with my other field recordings, there’s a bit of unavoidable background noise in this interview. Sorry about that!
