R & Python playing nice, in production
💬 Speaker(s): Claudia Penaloza
📝 Abstract:
Hi, I’m Claudia Peñaloza, a Data Scientist at Continental Tires, where going data-driven can be an adventure.
What started as a proof of concept a few years ago, evolved into Conti’s first-ever Predictive Machine Learning Model for R&D!
A baby, a wedding, two lateral moves, and three hires later, our team had also evolved… from mostly R to mostly Python developers.
Rewriting 1000+ commits? No thanks. Instead, we got R and Python to play nice. With Renv, Poetry, and Docker, we keep things reproducible, portable, and deployable on various ML-Ops platforms.
The takeaway? With the right tools, teams can mix and match languages, leveraging the best in each, and still build solid, scalable solutions. posit::conf(2025) Subscribe to posit::conf updates: posit.co/about/subscription-management
