I've done Coursera. I've done Kaggle competitions. This was different. Four days, one project, fully deployed. Aleena knows production ML, not just theory. We built a predictive maintenance model on manufacturing data, trained it, logged experiments in MLflow, containerized it with Docker, and deployed it to Render with a live API endpoint. By Day 4, I had a public GitHub repo and a working model I could demo in interviews. I used this exact project in three interviews. Got offers from two. This is the portfolio piece I should've built a year ago."
