Speaker's bio's:

Neelabh Kashyap:
Neelabh's main area of expertise is applied mathematics, but he also has a passion for robust software engineering. This combination comes in quite handy in the emerging discipline of Machine Learning Engineering - the science of building and maintaining AI solutions in line-of-business applications. As Director of Machine Learning Engineering at CGI Advanced Analytics Solutions, it is his responsibility to help customers with designing solution architectures for deploying and maintaining their machine learning models. This mainly involves working closely with data scientists to develop tools and processes to make their lives a little easier.
