About us
Enhancing the Python community and ecosystems, one developer focused event at a time.
Submit talks: https://bit.ly/bapyacfp 👈
Started in Nov 2008, SF Python is the largest, longest running community-run meetup in SF Bay Area. Each year, our dedicated team of volunteers produce 20+ developer focused, live events for Pythonistas to connect, learn, share, and grow together.
As a member of our community, you agree to adhere to our code of conduct. Please see our Code of Conduct page for further details.
Why do we put these events up?
We believe there is power in in-person interactions. We believe in learning, sharing, and helping each other out. And we have seen the results. We have heard stories of people getting their problems solved because of the talks and the people they met at our events. We have witnessed people grow in their career, from receiving their first internship to landing their first speaking gig at conferences. We have even heard companies migrating to a different platform/technologies after attending our conference.
We look forward to your joining this awesome community - be it attending our events, giving a talk, donating your venue space, or supporting us financially via sponsorship!
Hope to see you at some or more of the following events!
- Presentation Night on the 2nd Wednesday of each month features intermediate to advanced level tech talks from Python Software Foundation members, core developers of open-source projects, and local software engineers.

SCHEDULED TALKS
Sentry Intro
Generating Realistic Synthetic Data with Python - Saiteja Jonnalagadda
Abstract:
We all need realistic data to build and test with, but real data often comes with privacy risks and access limits. This talk shows how to generate synthetic data in Python that looks and behaves like the real thing, without exposing anyone's actual information. I will walk through the practical side in Python, from simple statistical approaches to generative models, how to check that the synthetic data is realistic enough to be useful, and how to make sure it does not leak details about the real data it was built from. I have published research on generating synthetic patient records, and I will keep this hands on and approachable, with takeaways you can try in your own projects.

Abstract:
How using Python to ingest data from any source, including public, can fuel your analytics to a new level. MotherDuck introduces Flights, python programs to manipulate data as only python can. https://motherduck.com/docs/concepts/flights/
Bio:
I've spent most of my career on the data side — building ETL pipelines, working with databases, and developing data-driven applications for the financial markets. For several years I was part of a team building a fully distributed, in-memory RDBMS, which gave me a deep appreciation for what it takes to make data fast and reliable at scale. More recently I've moved into a customer-facing role, where I get to do the part I've always enjoyed most: working directly with people to solve their toughest data challenges.AGENDA
