And we keep on growing our worldwide team! 🌏

We have three new team members this month!

Laurens Duijvesteijn joins the team from Utrecht, The Netherlands as a backend infrastructure engineer. Previously he led a devops team at Channable where he learned that he really enjoys working on developer tools and empowering people to do great work. When not solving dev challenges, he enjoys bouldering/climbing, snowboarding and hiking! Welcome Laurens!

Helio Machado joins our team from Spain as a CML engineer! Helio comes from a heutogogic background, mainly focused on the Free and Open Source culture and technologies from a systems perspective. You will find his clever cryptograph handle helping you out in Discord with your CML questions. Fun fact: Our two CML engineers, Helio and David Ortega live just 300 km apart in Spain! CML has some Spanish flare! πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ

MikHail Rozhkov joins us from Moscow, Russia as a Solution Engineer. Mikhail has been working with DVC for 2+ years in the banking industry and is also the creator of the Machine Learning REPA community as well as created our first course on Udemy. We are so excited to have him officially join our team full-time!

Open Positions

Come join our team! Open positions this month:

TypeScript Front-End Engineer to build SaaS and a VS Code UI for our popular machine learning tools: DVC and CML. The ML tools ecosystem is what JS space was 10 years ago. Come join us on this exciting project!

Our search continues for a Developer Advocate to support and inspire developers by creating new content like blogs, tutorials, and videos - plus lead outreach through meetups and conferences.

Does this sound like you or someone you know? Be in touch!

Swapnil Bhartiya of TFIR Insights interviewed our very own CEO, Dmitry Petrov, on his show discussing:

  • Iterative.ai
  • Why Open Source is a better approach for AI/ML
  • DVC and CML
  • Who should care about these tools
  • How DVC and CML stack up against proprietary AI Platforms such as AWS SageMaker and Microsoft Azure ML Engineer

From a Portuguese speaking community member in Finland…

"The @DVCorg surely it is among the best tools of the ecosystem of the last 3 years. It won't be long before DVC is as common as Scikit-Learn in ML / DS projects with high maturity. πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ"

O @DVCorg seguramente estΓ‘ entre as melhores ferramentas do ecossistema dos ΓΊltimos 3 anos. NΓ£o vai demorar para o DVC ser tΓ£o comum quanto o Scikit-Learn em projetos de ML/DS com alta maturidade. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ https://t.co/nnfecYoTQv
