Speaker:
Alex Woolford

Bio:
Alex is a systems engineer at Confluent, the company founded by the original creators of Apache Kafka.

He's been working with a diverse set of open source technologies for the past 7 years, specifically Hadoop et. al, StreamSets, and most recently Kafka. Alex maintains a YouTube channel of geeky practical examples which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/c/alexwoolford.

Outside of work he enjoys floating in a tank, playing guitar (very, very badly), and yelling from the sidelines at his kids sporting events.

Title: An Introduction to Apache Kafka®

Abstract:
In this session, Alex Woolford will walk us through some practical near real-time examples that touch on analytics, systems integration, and machine learning. We'll show you:

• how to build streaming apps using a familiar SQL interface (ksqlDB)
• how to capture events from external systems
• how to deploy a machine learning model in a stream of events
