π TALKS
Ed Boal on "GDPR for data people"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
What is the GDPR really about? What does the GDPR mean for the data science community? Can Big Data and the GDPR co-exist? What does Data Protection by Design look like? Do anonymisation and pseudonymisation techniques provide the answer?
Ed Boal, head of the Digital Media & Technology (https://www.gregglatchams.com/for-business/sector-expertise/digital-media-technology/) team at Bristol-based law firm Gregg Latchams, will attempt to answer all of these questions and more. As a specialist technology and data protection lawyer, Ed advises clients across a broad variety of hardware products and software platforms and loves nothing more than to pull apart privacy policies and the motives behind them.
Louis Taylor on "Kubernetes for Data Scientists"
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In this talk we will quickly cover the basics of containerisation, then move on to an overview of the Kubernetes project and surrounding ecosystem of tools to help run software at scale, and how it can help python-wielding data scientists.
Louis is a Solutions Engineer at Jetstack, with a background in AI & Robotics.
