Educative.com · Machine Learning Engineer career path

From print("hello") to deep learning, in 12 modules.

Working notebook + exercise repo for the Machine Learning Engineer career path on Educative.com. Starts with a Python prep course (78 small exercises across syntax, control flow, data structures, file I/O, graphics, and a tiny chatbot), then walks through the 12 ML modules with a learning-summary blog post per module.

The 12-module path

Each module ends with a learning-summary blog post in blogs/.

01

Learn Python

Syntax, variables, I/O, control flow, functions, files. The 78-exercise prep course in this repo lives here.

02

Python Libraries

NumPy, pandas, matplotlib, seaborn — the data-handling toolbelt every later module assumes.

03

Statistics & Probability

Distributions, hypothesis testing, Bayes — the math vocabulary for "why does this model work?"

04

OOP for ML

Classes, inheritance, decorators. Foundation for sklearn estimators and PyTorch nn.Module.

05

Data Cleaning

Missing values, outliers, scaling, encoding. The 80% of real-world ML work no tutorial covers.

06

Supervised Learning

Linear & logistic regression, SVMs, decision trees, random forests, gradient boosting.

07

Unsupervised Learning

Clustering (k-means, DBSCAN), dimensionality reduction (PCA, t-SNE), anomaly detection.

08

Model Evaluation

Cross-validation, precision/recall, ROC/AUC, hyperparameter tuning with Optuna.

09

Neural Networks

From perceptron to backpropagation. Built from scratch in NumPy, then in PyTorch.

10

Deep Learning

CNNs for vision, RNNs / LSTMs for sequences, transformers for everything else.

11

NLP

Tokenization, embeddings, fine-tuning. Hugging Face transformers for serious work.

12

MLOps & Deployment

Docker, FastAPI serving, model versioning, monitoring drift in production.
