Machine Learning Engineer
You can expect practical training in analyzing, planning, and implementing improvement measures. You will learn how to reduce technical debt, develop long-term strategies, and optimize systems in a sustainable manner. The goal is to make architecture and processes more efficient and future-proof.
Basics
- Introduction to software evolution and architectural adaptations.
- Common issues and improvement methods.
Analyze the current situation
- Conduct stakeholder and context analysis.
- Systematically document and evaluate problems.
Evaluate problems and possible solutions
- Consider expenditure and economic factors.
- Apply estimation methods to decision-making.
Planning for long-term improvement
- Develop strategies for continuous optimization.
- Minimize risks and prioritize solutions.
Typical approaches for improvement
- Refactoring and reduction of technical debt.
- Process automation and quality assurance.
Examples of improvement
- Analyze practical case studies and real IT systems.
- Track successful optimization measures.
Requirements:
- You should have practical experience in the design and development of small to medium-sized software systems.
- Initial experience in the maintenance and further development of existing systems, particularly in the analysis and refactoring of source code, is required.
- Basic knowledge of software metrics such as coupling, complexity, and cohesion is helpful.
- You should be familiar with basic techniques such as runtime analysis, profiling, and log analysis.
- Experience in working with stakeholders and in analyzing requirements and development processes is an advantage.
Technical requirements:
There are no special requirements for the training environment, as the exercises take place using cloud- and web-based tools such as Miro, Draw.io, and platforms such as Jupyter or HuggingFace. All that is needed is a stable and sufficiently fast internet connection.
- You analyze and improve software systems based on technical and business objectives.
- You separate problems from solutions and plan long-term improvement strategies.
- You use refactoring, automation, and architectural patterns to improve quality.
- You apply analytical methods such as stakeholder, context, and runtime analyses in a targeted manner.
- You evaluate risks and measures using ROI and cost-benefit analyses.
- You will gain practical insights into improvement projects for real IT systems.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Efficient optimization: Systematic analysis and targeted improvement of software architectures.
- Sustainable quality: Reduce technical debt and ensure long-term maintainability.
- Practical knowledge: Application of proven methods using real-life examples.
- Visual collaboration through, for example, whiteboarding
- High level of interactivity through customized exercises and breakout rooms
- Ideal trainer support even in the breakout rooms
Credit points for CPSA-A certification:
