Julia Silge is an engineering manager at Posit PBC, formerly know as R-studio, where she leads a team of developers building open source software MLOps. Before Posit, she finished a PhD in astrophysics, worked for several years in the nonprofit space, and was a data scientist at Stack Overflow where some of her most public work involved the annual developer survey. We talked about MLOps tools, challenges in survey data, text analysis, and balancing her interests in data science and engineering.
