Speaker Bio

I reached out to Sam after discovering his great summary of the TensorFlow White Paper (http://download.tensorflow.org/paper/whitepaper2015.pdf): https://github.com/samjabrahams/tensorflow-white-paper-notes

Sam will be making a special trip up to SF from LA for this event, so please hold the LA jokes until after his talk!

Talk 3: Deep Dive into TensorFlow Distributed, Design Patterns and Best Practices (Fabrizio Milo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/fmilo), CUDA Developer and Early TensorFlow Contributor @ Scopely)

Speaker Bio

Fabrizio and I met at a recent full-day TensorFlow Meetup on a Sunday down in Cupertino. I liked him right off the bat.

He's got the accent, he's got the hair - and he's got the TensorFlow.
