Bios and Talk Descriptions:

Thiago is the Head of Solutions Engineering at LINKIT, a knowledge-driven organization with IT experts supporting partners with a transparent path toward pain mitigation and solving business problems.
Passionate about data, programming and the people behind it, he’s given many talks and workshops at conferences. Sometimes on stage, sometimes coding and sometimes in meetings, Thiago loves to learn and try new things... he also likes to crack bad jokes that sounded better on his own mind.
He is an active part of the community (devopsdays Amsterdam, ITNEXT & Codemotion), married to someone smarter than him, open-source enthusiast, knowledge-sharer and a proud father. Thiago wakes up everyday with one goal: develop happy high-performing teams to decrease time-to-market and build production-ready applications, always!

"In this talk, I'll look at ML and AI from a devops engineer perspective, emphasizing how they can help data scientists and decrease time-to-market of such products. Although it may be new, paradigms familiar to the devops world can be translated to the ML world: reduced batch sizes, CI/CD, sharing, observability, ..."

Julio received his PhD from Leiden University for his research on automated de novo metabolite identification with mass spectrometry and cheminformatics. After graduating, he worked as a data science consultant in companies like Deloitte and Microsoft. He recently started his own company, Data Fitter to interim and consulting services in data and AI, for companies like VodafoneZiggo and Schiphol Airport. Julio is on a mission to make businesses more data-driven and data scientists more business-driven.

"Let's talk about Ethics, AI, Software 2.0, building a data team in large corporations and anything data-related. And of course, your opinion will be asked!".
