Today we’re joined by our youngest guest ever (by far), Aaron Ma, an 11-year-old middle school student and machine learning engineer in training. Aaron has completed over 80(!) Coursera courses and is the recipient of 3 Udacity nano-degrees. In our conversation, we discuss Aaron’s research interests in reinforcement learning and self-driving cars, his journey from programmer to ML engineer, his experiences participating in kaggle competitions, and how he balances his passion for ML with day-to-day life.
