This is my multi-month study plan for going from mobile developer (self-taught, no CS degree) to machine learning engineer.My main goal was to find an approach to studying Machine Learning that is mainly hands-on and abstracts most of the Math for the beginner. This approach is unconventional because it’s the top-down and results-first approach designed for…
