Nastasia Saby works at the point where machine learning meets production. After starting out as a software backend developer, she moved into machine learning engineering and now specializes in productionizing models. Her role is to help others deploy predictive systems safely, bringing the reliability mindset of backend engineering to machine learning.

She also documents that journey publicly. On her blog, Machine Learning in Real Life, and in her newsletter on data science in business, DataOps, and MLOps, Nastasia shares practical lessons about what it really takes to run machine learning outside the notebook.
