"In my role as a veteran Solution Architect, I have been fortunate to work with Product Management, Marketing, Sales, Business stakeholders and my clients to transform requirements designed by Analysts into Data Platform solutions. These then get delivered by developers, engineers and scientists allowing me to learn even more about the reality of my designed solutions. In my free time I am enjoying spending time with my family and my little boy.

I will be talking about Spark on the MapR Converged Data Platform. An introduction to the converged data platform, SQL-on-Hadoop and Streams. The demo will be a walk through of Spark on MapR using Zeppellin with an example of some music industry data."
