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 Almería, a beautiful region in Andalusia, the southernmost part of Spain ☀️

I’m a Physicist turned ML Engineer (nope, no software engieneering background here!), who swapped General Relativity for Production ML - and I don’t 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 wasn’t as valuable as I thought. I understood the maths behind the models, sure. But I didn’t 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 that’s when I decided to create The Neural Maze …

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, I’ve 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 isn’t just a Newsletter, it’s 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.
