MLOps Coffee Sessions #153 with Rodolfo Núñez, Multilingual Programming and a Project Structure to Enable It, co-hosted by Abi Aryan.

// Abstract
It's really easy to mix different programming languages inside the same project and use a project template that enables easy collaboration. It's not about what language is better, but rather what language solves the given section of your problem better for you.

// Bio
Rodo has been working in the "Data Space" for almost 7 years. He was a Senior Data Scientist at Entel (a Chilean telecommunications company) and is now a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at the same company, where I also lead three mini teams dedicated to internal cybersecurity; design/promote continuous training for the entire Analytics team and also the whole company; and ensure the improvement of programming practices and code cleanliness standards.

Rodo is currently in charge of helping the team put models into production and define the tools that we will use for it. He specializes in R, but he's language/tool agnostic: you should use the tool that best solves your current problem.

Rodo studied Mathematical Engineering and MSc in Applied Mathematics at the University of Chile in addition to General Engineering at the École Centrale Marseille.

Rodo really likes to share knowledge (bi-directionally) in whatever he thinks he can contribute. Some things that Rodo like teaching are Data Science, Math, Latin Dances, and whatever he thinks he can give to people.

Rodo's other interests are computer games (especially Vermintide and Darktide), board games, and dancing to Latin rhythms. Also, he streams some games and Data Science related topics on Twitch.
