19M wanting to become a Machine Learning (ML) Engineer. What should I deep research and build before university?
I am 19 years old and wanr to be a ML Engineer. I plan to pursue a related degree at university soon, but I want to utilize my time right now to build a very strong foundation.
Since ML requires a mix of math, coding, and theory, I want to know how to approach this correctly from the beginning.
- What specific core concepts (Mathematics, Python libraries, etc.) should I start deep-researching right now?
- What are some beginner-friendly practical projects I can build to get my hands dirty?
- What is the best learning path/roadmap to follow before my university classes officially start?
I would highly appreciate any advice, recommended free resources, or roadmaps from current ML Engineers and tech professionals here. Thanks in advance!
