Hiring guide

What to look for in a Deep Learning freelancer

A strong deep learning engineer should pair solid math with hands-on framework experience. Look for:

  • Fluency in PyTorch or TensorFlow, not just high-level wrappers.
  • A grasp of the fundamentals: backpropagation, regularization, and how to read a loss curve.
  • Experience with your data type: images, text, audio, or tabular.
  • Honest evaluation habits: proper train and test splits, and metrics that match your goal.
  • Real deployed models, not only notebooks that ran once.

Ask a candidate how they diagnosed and fixed an overfitting or underfitting problem on a past project.
