🎯 The Challenge: Enterprise MLOps at Scale

Required to build a production-grade machine learning operations platform supporting the complete ML lifecycle from data ingestion to model deployment, monitoring, and retraining with automated governance and compliance for enterprise AI initiatives.

🚨 The ML Operations Challenge

  • Manual ML Processes: Data scientists manually managing training and deployment
  • Model Drift: No automated monitoring or retraining for degrading models
  • Deployment Complexity: Inconsistent environments and manual model serving
  • Governance Gaps: No model versioning, lineage, or compliance tracking
  • Scaling Bottlenecks: Limited ability to train multiple models simultaneously

🏗️ Complete MLOps Platform Architecture

Architected and implemented an end-to-end MLOps platform using Vertex AI, Kubeflow Pipelines, MLflow, and BigQuery with automated training, deployment, monitoring, and governance workflows.
