[00:00.000 --> .260] Hey, three, two, one, there we go, we're live.
2
[00:02.260 --> .260] All right, so welcome Simon to Enterprise ML Ops interviews.
3
[00:09.760 --> .480] The goal of these interviews is to get people exposed
4
[00:13.480 --> .680] to real professionals who are doing work in ML Ops.
5
[00:17.680 --> .360] It's such a cutting edge field
6
[00:20.360 --> .760] that I think a lot of people are very curious about.
7
[00:22.760 --> .600] What is it?
8
[00:23.600 --> .960] You know, how do you do it?
9
[00:24.960 --> .760] And very honored to have Simon here.
10
[00:27.760 --> .200] And do you wanna introduce yourself
11
[00:29.200 --> .520] and maybe talk a little bit about your background?
12
[00:31.520 --> .360] Sure.
13
[00:32.360 --> .960] Yeah, thanks again for inviting me.
14
[00:34.960 --> .160] My name is Simon Stebelena or Simon.
15
[00:38.160 --> .440] I am originally from Austria,
16
[00:40.440 --> .120] but currently working in the Netherlands and Amsterdam
17
[00:43.120 --> .080] at Transaction Monitoring Netherlands.
18
[00:46.080 --> .780] Here I am the lead ML Ops engineer.
19
[00:49.840 --> .680] What are we doing at TML actually?
20
[00:51.680 --> .560] We are a data processing company actually.
21
[00:55.560 --> .320] We are owned by the five large banks of Netherlands.
22
[00:59.320 --> .080] And our purpose is kind of what the name says.
23
[01:02.080 --> .920] We are basically lifting specifically anti money laundering.
24
[01:05.920 --> .040] So anti money laundering models that run
25
[01:08.040 --> .440] on a personalized transactions of businesses
26
[01:11.440 --> .240] we get from these five banks
27
[01:13.240 --> .760] to detect unusual patterns on that transaction graph
28
[01:15.760 --> .000] that might indicate money laundering.
29
[01:19.000 --> .520] That's a natural what we do.
30
[01:20.520 --> .800] So as you can imagine,
31
[01:21.800 --> .160] we are really focused on building models
32
[01:24.160 --> .280] and obviously ML Ops is a big component there
33
[01:27.280 --> .920] because that is really the core of what you do.
34
[01:29.920 --> .680] You wanna do it efficiently and effectively as well.
35
[01:32.680 --> .760] In my role as lead ML Ops engineer,
36
[01:34.760 --> .880] I'm on the one hand the lead engineer
37
[01:36.880 --> .680] of the actual ML Ops platform team.
38
[01:38.680 --> .200] So this is actually a centralized team
39
[01:40.200 --> .680] that builds out lots of the infrastructure
40
[01:42.680 --> .320] that's needed to do modeling effectively and efficiently.
41
[01:47.320 --> .360] But also I am the craft lead
42
[01:50.360 --> .640] for the machine learning engineering craft.
43
[01:52.640 --> .120] These are actually in our case, the machine learning engineers,
44
[01:55.120 --> .360] the people working within the model development teams
45
[01:58.360 --> .360] and cross functional teams
46
[01:59.360 --> .680] ...
