I've had PyTorch Lightning recommended before, and heard it works great! My main concern is that it isn't officially supported, while Ignite is part of PyTorch. Ignite is still in alpha and needs to catch up, but I get the feeling

I had the same experience! Sophomore EE (signals) internship at Raytheon. While I had the same reaction as you at the time, my thinking has evolved a bit. I can see why a subset of people enjoy working there. The problems are difficult, the

This is my issue with the phrase "AI/ML" as a catch all. You have an excellent general skillset, but "AI/ML" encapsulates a wide spectrum of jobs. ML-SWE: SWE with ML focus - building architecture around models
