About us
Data Council SF Data Engineering & Science hosts events where lead engineers & data scientists from pre-screened companies present talks on their projects for the benefit of the data community.
What you'll gain from this group:
* a better understanding of the best OS tools to use in building your own data infrastructure (pipelines, platforms, storage options, etc.)
* real-world examples from top technical companies explaining the data platforms their engineers are building
* applied data science talks that explain the minimum level of algorithmic understanding engineers should have to work better with their data science counterparts, or to become a Machine Learning Engineer-unicorn themselves
* highly technical conversations with other attendees, and announcements of the best data events and opportunities in the SF area
