Welcome to March! It's been a great month already! Here's all that will keep you in the know.
ICYMI - DVC 2.0 is here!
If you somehow missed our March 3rd announcment, DVC 2.0 is here with loads of features to make your life easier.
π§ͺ Lightweight ML experiments
π ML model checkpoints versioning
π Dvc-live - new open-source library for metrics logging
π ML pipeline templating and iterative foreach-stages
π€ CML - new way to get GPU/CPU in clouds and GitHub Actions
This video from the team gives you an overview of all the new features.
And we keep on growing our worldwide team! π
We have three new team members this month!
Laurens Duijvesteijn joins the team from Utrecht, The Netherlands as a backend infrastructure engineer. Previously he led a devops team at Channable where he learned that he really enjoys working on developer tools and empowering people to do great work. When not solving dev challenges, he enjoys bouldering/climbing, snowboarding and hiking! Welcome Laurens!
Helio Machado joins our team from Spain as a CML engineer! Helio comes from a heutogogic background, mainly focused on the Free and Open Source culture and technologies from a systems perspective. You will find his clever cryptograph handle helping you out in Discord with your CML questions. Fun fact: Our two CML engineers, Helio and David Ortega live just 300 km apart in Spain! CML has some Spanish flare! ππ»πͺπΈ
MikHail Rozhkov joins us from Moscow, Russia as a Solution Engineer. Mikhail has been working with DVC for 2+ years in the banking industry and is also the creator of the Machine Learning REPA community as well as created our first course on Udemy. We are so excited to have him officially join our team full-time!
Open Positions
Come join our team! Open positions this month:
TypeScript Front-End Engineer to build SaaS and a VS Code UI for our popular machine learning tools: DVC and CML. The ML tools ecosystem is what JS space was 10 years ago. Come join us on this exciting project!
Our search continues for a Developer Advocate to support and inspire developers by creating new content like blogs, tutorials, and videos - plus lead outreach through meetups and conferences.
Does this sound like you or someone you know? Be in touch!

From a Portuguese speaking community member in Finlandβ¦
"The @DVCorg surely it is among the best tools of the ecosystem of the last 3 years. It won't be long before DVC is as common as Scikit-Learn in ML / DS projects with high maturity. ππΌππΌππΌ"
O @DVCorg seguramente estΓ‘ entre as melhores ferramentas do ecossistema dos ΓΊltimos 3 anos. NΓ£o vai demorar para o DVC ser tΓ£o comum quanto o Scikit-Learn em projetos de ML/DS com alta maturidade. πππ https://t.co/nnfecYoTQv
