Sigurd Spieckermann

Ph.D., Principal Research Scientist at SIEMENS

Hi, I'm Sigurd 👋

I'm a data scientist and fullstack developer, specialized on MLOps. I love OSS as a user, contributor, and maintainer.

MLOps combines machine learning (ML) development and operations (Ops) for putting ML into production. Defining one buzzword by another, MLOps is DevOps for ML. It's a cross-cutting topic, requiring profound knowledge on a variety of aspects within both ML and DevOps, which are very different fields.

My primary areas of interest are:

  • Quality

    Code style, typing, tests, documentation, maintenance, etc.

  • Reusability

    Scaffolding, modularity, stability, packaging, releases, etc.

  • Reproducibility

    RNG seeding, dependency locking, data pinning, accessibility, etc.

  • Traceability

    Code, data & model versioning, lifecycle trails, accountability, etc.

  • Tech Stack

    OSS, features, maturity, activity, interoperability, licenses, etc.

  • Automation

    Code formatters, linters, type checkers, CI/CD, bots, etc.
