Not a full answer, just an observation: most ML people I come across don't have CS backgrounds. Many have backgrounds in physics, math and other STEM fields that have a strong computational component (my own background is in control systems, math modeling and numerical computation).
From your question, it sounds like you want to be a software engineer rather than an ML/AI engineer -- is that a fair assessment?
- ultrasounder 8y agoIts certainly good to know that ML doesn't require a CS background. In my own case, My thinking was that because ML/AI has a strong programming component in addition to Math&Stats, my strong Hardware background might work against me. In an ideal scenario, i would like to develop AI/ML applications and wouldn't mind morphing into a SW engineer if the role requires me to. THough SWE by itself would be another steep hill to climb.
