I've trained more ML models than I've deployed. There's something comforting about the local loop—model.fit(), model.evaluate(), hitting 94% accuracy, then staring at the screen wondering, "Okay, how do I make this actually useful?"

Note: I wrote this based on AWS documentation and standard SageMaker patterns. If you try it, drop a comment about what worked (or broke).
