Speaker Info:
For our inaugural Databricks North East meet-up, we are excited to be hosting Thor List, Senior Field Engineering Manager at Databricks. Thor will give a brief history of the evolution of the Databricks platform over the last few years followed by a more in-depth description of recently released features and finally a view of what is expected in the coming year.
Over the last four years, Thor has built up a team of 40 talented Solutions Architects to help Enterprise customers in Northern Europe solve their most challenging data and AI problems. Before joining Databricks he spent a lot of time building collaborative robots, computer and face recognition systems and covert surveillance equipment for governments around the world. Thor lives in old York now after finding New York not quite right.
