Sadik Bakiu is co-founder and ML Engineer consultant at data-max.io, where he focuses on developing solutions to bring machine learning to production. From the very beginning of his career, more than a decade ago, he was fascinated by data and information management systems, and he has been working with them ever since.

That long-running focus gives Sadik a perspective that spans the full journey from raw data to deployed models: designing the information management foundations that machine learning depends on, and then doing the unglamorous but critical engineering required to keep those models running reliably in production. Through his consulting work at data-max.io, he helps organizations close the gap between experimentation and production-grade ML systems. Sadik also writes occasionally about technology topics, sharing what he learns along the way.
