I imagine he is doing the tooling to support the ML team. I've seen listings for that type of work that don't require any ML experience. Usually you need a PhD if you want to be developing and tuning models.

For English-speakers -- Kaggle forums. Top kaggler (Giba) said he learned everything just reading Kaggle forums (he was an electric engineer).

I personally mostly talked to friends, Kaggle, and 1-2 Coursera classes.

PS: Kaggle is pretty far from real production ML, but good enough to dive in.

The math you learn when studying electrical engineering plus all the signal processing stuff, gives you a good foundation to pivot to ML.

It's a shame electrical engineering is so poorly paid by default in comparison to SW dev.

Yeah, would appreciate if parent answers this.
