Below is a comprehensive roadmap that outlines the key steps and topics you should cover on your
journey to becoming a Full Stack ML engineer. Keep in mind that this is a high-level roadmap, and you
can customize it based on your interests and goals.
1. Python Programming
Python is widely considered the best programming language for machine learning. It has gained
immense popularity in the field of data science and machine learning.
Python basics, Variables, Operators, Conditional Statements
List and Strings
Dictionary, Tuple, Set
While Loop, Nested Loops, Loop Else
For Loop, Break, and Continue statements
Functions, Return Statement, Recursion
File Handling, Exception Handling
Object-Oriented Programming
2. Data Analysis
NumPy and Pandas are two essential Python libraries that provide tools for handling and manipulating
large datasets efficiently. NumPy is primarily used for numerical computations, while Pandas is built on
top of NumPy and offers high-level data structures and functions designed to simplify data analysis tasks.
Numpy
Vectors, Operations on Matrix
Reshaping Arrays
Diagonal Operations, Trace
Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation
Add, Subtract, Multiply, Dot, and Cross Product.
Pandas
Different ways to create DataFrame
Series and DataFrames
Slicing, Rows, and Columns
Read, Write Operations with CSV files
Handling Missing values
GroupBy and Concatenation
3. Data Visualization
One of the most popular data visualization libraries in Python is Matplotlib, which forms the foundation
for other libraries like Seaborn and Plotly.
Matplotlib
Bar Chart, Pie Chart, Histogram, Scatter Plot
Format Strings in Plots
Label Parameters, Legend
Seaborn
Wide Range of Plot Types

Additionally, you can learn Ploty and Tableau if you want.
4. Statistics
Statistics for machine learning come as a significant tool that studies this data for recognizing certain
patterns. It helps you find unseen patterns by providing a proper direction for utilizing, analyzing, and
presenting the raw data that is successfully implemented in fields like computer vision and speech
analysis.
Descriptive Statistics
Continuous and Discrete Functions
