you already have pretty solid foundations, i would recommend taking a Udemy or coursera ā€œMachine Learning with Pythonā€ course and then doing a deep dive on your own for any stats/math topics you dont fully understand. this will give you the basics, the rest of your learnings will have to come through real examples (use kaggle for practice). for interview prep use leetcode
