I write customer-facing documentation for the SageMaker machine learning platform. I explain how to use AWS code for machine learning algorithms, environments, containers and workflows, generative AI, foundation models, bias detection and explanations, automated machine learning, automatic model tuning, and training. Approximately 1.6 million unique visitors view my content every quarter.
