Welcome to The Neural Maze
Learn to build AI Systems that actually work
Who am I?
My name is Miguel Otero Pedrido, and I was born on November 11, 1993, in Vigo, a city in spain. I currently live in AlmerĂa, a beautiful region in Andalusia, the southernmost part of Spain âď¸
Iâm a Physicist turned ML Engineer (nope, no software engieneering background here!), who swapped General Relativity for Production ML - and I donât regret it!
Why The Neural Maze?
When I first entered this field, I thought the math I'd learned throughout my career would be enough to land high-paying jobs in top companies.
But you know what? I was WRONG
It took me some time to realise that, from a business perspective, I wasnât as valuable as I thought. I understood the maths behind the models, sure. But I didnât have a clue of how to deploy any of these models to production.
So, even if you stop reading after this, let me give you this piece of advice:
Nothing matters if the model never makes it to production. Period.
Once that clicked, everything changed. Instead of passively consuming endless tutorials, I focused on actively building real projects. In a matter of months, my skills grew exponentially, so did the value I brought to the companied I worked with.
And thatâs when I decided to create The Neural Maze âŚ
So, what kind of content can you expect in this Newsletter?
End-to-end projects: From connecting an Arduino with an LLM, automating your LinkedIn posts, creating a production-ready Recommender System or building a Twin Celebrity App.
Practical advice: After more than 6 years working as an ML Engineer, Iâve faced multiple problems in multiple companies. I want to share all of this expertise with you, since I believe it can help you in your projects.
Video Courses: The Neural Maze isnât just a Newsletter, itâs also a YouTube Channel! Many of the E2E projects, tutorials or resource summaries will be linked to YouTube videos, to further improve the learning experience.
Why subscribe?
If you are tired of the hype. If you are tired of AI News Influencers. If you are tired of not knowing where to start in this noisy field âŚ
