Thanks for starting this thread @balumotukuru !
I was going to post the same thing requesting for mentorship from an experienced person here. I have been trying to become a full fledged ML Engineer for quite a long time (on and off). But with a day job taking up 8-10 hours of the day, it has become a quite challenging for me.
For now, I am going to take the TF Developer Certificate Exam soon. I have a detailed journey planned out for myself (gathered using multiple online sources). It would definitely help to get a second opinion and some guidance. I will surely reach out for help soon after I clear the exam
