Following. I got off the train about two years ago to work more in engineering. The way I see it, if you’re not a research scientist - this field is best addressed as an ML engineer as there are more challenges in systems. Would love to be proved wrong.

Hey,

I am a research engineer/applied ai person building vision models in healthcare domain. I am currently preparing to transition to engineering roles like you did. For that, I am currently going through web dev - both frontend and backend. Would love to get some pointers from you on my approach and any recommendations from your side. Thanks!

The best advice I could give:

Build out your portfolio so you have projects that you can speak to and show your tech depth.

FWIW, I do AI backend at FAANG and mentor as tech lead.
