February meetup: data science 101 and MQTT + Kafka

Hello everybody,

I am happy to announce that for our first meetup in 2020, on February 27th, we will be talking ML tools to be used, ML basics to know and how a day goes by in the life of a data scientist with Andras and how the data flow of an IoT system could look like using MQTT and Kafka with Virgil. Many thanks Andras and Virgil for taking time to present in our meetup and bringing us such interesting subjects.

Details of the agenda below (please note the first presentation will be kept in english):

6:30PM - 7:00PM gathering and socialization

7:00PM - 7:40PM What a data scientist can teach you in 40 minutes: the basics of ML, the tools, the daily stuff; Andras Palfi @ UiPath (https://www.linkedin.com/in/andpal/)

The objective of the presentation is to teach the audience what Data Science is and the various kinds of activities a Data Scientist performs. It will familiarize learners with basic concepts of machine learning, go into detail about the type of Data Scientists that exist together with how they spend their time and what tools they use.

7:40PM - 8:20PM MQTT & Kafka & Encryption = Secure IoT communication & Data Flow; Virgil Borcea @ eSolutions (https://www.linkedin.com/in/virgil-borcea-b91a6342/)

In this presentation I want to show you how we have enabled the communication of Mobile Applications with IoT devices and what's the data flow in an IoT ecosystem. We will also give Security tips for a production solution.
A demo will include the flow API Calls -> Kafka -> MQTT Broker -> IoT Device

8:20PM - 9:00PM pizza, drinks and socialization - sponsored by Netopia.

Looking forward seeing you soon,
Valentina
