Microservices, Containers, DevOps and Cloud Q4 MeetUp

Big welcome to our 2nd MCDC MeetUp in Toronto! This time round we'll be focusing on Machine Learning as it applies to Microservices, Containers, DevOps & Cloud. We're fired up to have engaging speakers from both Google and SAP share their leading experience and expertise. Can’t wait to see you all on Nov 28th at Google!

Presentation #1: Never Go Drinking with a Machine Learning Algorithm by Glen Moffatt, Director, Digital Core Field Enablement, SAP North America
Cloud-based artificial intelligence and machine learning? Problem domains, use-cases, model training, the role of data, the role of the data scientist? In this session we’ll offer a simple and humorous (maybe?) metaphor to explain all these concepts and more.

Glen Moffatt - Glen is a technical generalist and communicator, specializing in helping others to understand the application of enterprise information technology. He can express himself in a wide variety of ways: writing code, conducting software demonstrations, teaching, facilitating design thinking workshops, and presenting to the boardroom. He has held a number of diverse roles inside and outside the software industry, including 12 years at SAP.

Presentation #2: Google on Machine Learning for Business by Atif Rashid, Partner Engineer, Google
Google Cloud is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge machine learning technology. Computer vision, predictive modeling, natural language understanding and speech recognition are among the most popular business use cases of machine learning. In this session, you'll learn how to leverage machine learning for your own business applications using Google technologies.

Atif Rashid - Atif has been working in data centers his whole life. In the past, he's worked in a technical capacity at IBM, NetApp, EMC, Microsoft and Telus. Now a Partner Engineer at Google, focused on Google alliances in Canada, Atif is bringing together organizations in new and exciting ways.

Looking forward to networking, sharing knowledge, and learning with other talented MCDCers! We'll be serving great food & drinks, so don't miss it!
