When I started practicing Data Science, I haven’t thought much about using the Machine Learning model outside of a Jupyter Notebook. My mindset was "the model achieves great classification accuracy so my work here is done". By mentoring junior Data Scientists, I’ve noticed that this mindset is quite common. In reality, the model in a Jupyter Notebook isn’t of much use to the company. There are a few steps needed to move the model out of a notebook to a real-world environment. This is where many Junior Data Scientists fall short (and not just Juniors!)—so don’t be like them and learn at least the basics of these 5 skills.
