What we’re about
This is a relatively informal group of Seattle-area data scientists, ML engineers and software engineers. We meet monthly at tech companies who are willing to host us in downtown Seattle or Bellevue, and have a format which varies from a series of lightning talks, evening meetups, weekend workshops by visiting or local speakers.

Talk #1: High Tech: Data Scraping and Analysis from a Popular Cannabis Strain Database
Speaker: Tyrell Towle, PhD
Description: Documenting and systematizing reliable scientific information about cannabis remains an ongoing challenge, even with the recent shifts in public opinion and the legal status of cannabis. Despite this challenge, some organizations have made attempts to systematize such data and make it available on database websites. One such database of cannabis strain information is Kannapedia, provided by the company Medicinal Genomics. In this talk, I will describe how I wrote a python program to scrape the Kannapedia database for cannabis strain information and saved the data into a CSV file. I will also go through some of my data analysis and share some interesting conclusions about cannabis that I was able to elucidate from the data.Lightning talk #1: Exodestiny: An Open Source Space Strategy Game built in Azure
Speaker: Bill Harding
Description: I've built an entire enterprise strategy game out of Azure Microservices, and I can show you how I can leverage Azure to build scalable games and web apps at very low cost that scale very well.Lightning talk #2: TBD
