Presentations:

How to realize value from AI by bridging cross-domain knowledge to develop the right solutions?*

Karolina Jedrzejewska - Arbetsförmedlingen
Andreas Horndahl - Arbetsförmedlingen

Over the past few years, the public sector has used AI to uncover insights from data, to enhance human intelligence and to automate business processes. As adoption and use of AI technologies are growing rapidly, new sets of challenges occur, i.e., a lack of knowledge and understanding of how AI technologies can create business value, a lack of understanding unique methodology used to examine the effects of AI, a lack of organizational readiness and subject matter experts.

Automate everything: using Python to extend the power of dbt at Voi

Fernando Brito - Voi Technology

Voi is a data-savvy company with dozens of Data Scientists, Data Analysts, Data Engineers, and Machine Learning engineers working full-time with data. One of the central pieces of our data technology stack is dbt, an open-source data transformation tool that brings engineering best practices and modernizes how we transform data in a data warehouse.

In this presentation, Fernando will talk about a Python open-source project developed at Voi that automates the creation of dbt exposures, a dbt feature that allows us to express what external data dependencies exist outside our dbt project.

Join us for an insightful journey about this project and get inspired on using Python to automate your own repetitive tasks and become more productive!

Speaker Bio:

Fernando Brito is a Staff Data Engineer at Voi, acting as the Tech Lead of the Data Platform team. He joined Voi almost 4 years ago as the first full-time Data Engineer in the company and today he works with data warehouses, data pipelines, data operations, and data developer experience.
