Welcome to ML Team Success — the show for ML engineers, data scientists, and MLOps practitioners who want to actually ship AI that works in production.

I'm Ross Webb. I've led data product teams and ML engineering teams at places like Amazon and Just Eat, building platforms used by thousands of professionals. I've seen what works, what breaks, and why 90% of ML projects never make it to production.

Each episode: real conversations with practitioners who are solving the hard problems — MLOps, model deployment, inference at scale, data pipelines, and the shift to AI engineering and agentic systems.

No theory for theory's sake. No hype. Just the stuff that matters when you're trying to get models into production and keep them there.
