What You’ll Be Able to Do — End-to-End

Graduate with employer-ready skills: production apps, reproducible ML pipelines, Bayesian modeling, testing, deployment, and operations.

Ship production Shiny apps

Auth, role-based access, testing, CI, and containerized deploys to Posit Connect / Shiny Server / cloud.

Fit & interpret Bayesian models

Stan/PyMC workflow: priors, HMC diagnostics, posterior predictive checks, uncertainty communication.

Build robust ML pipelines

Feature engineering → evaluation (scikit-learn/tidymodels) with metrics, cross-validation, and reproducible seeds.

Operationalize models (MLOps)

Versioning, model registry, reproducible builds, monitoring, and scheduled retraining with cloud runners.

Deliver credible data products

Clear visuals, uncertainty bands, and narrative structure tuned for coaches, execs, and stakeholders.

Work fast in cloud labs

One-click VMs with datasets, unit tests, and autograding — everything pre-installed and ready to ship.
