⭐️ Intro to Machine Learning as a Data Engineer
🙂 Jared Kuehn
Organizations globally seek to mature their analytical strategy in order to be more competitive. Recent innovations in technology have opened a wider door to advanced capabilities like predictive or prescriptive analytics. Without data scientists or some form of AI engineer available, this leaves many data engineers being tasked with creating their organization’s advanced analytics…without any prior experience.
If this is you, or if you are looking to make a career shift into advanced analytics and don’t know where to start, this kick-starter session is for you. We’ll clearly define what we mean by advanced analytics, highlighting the differences between that and the analytical solutions you see more regularly in the market. With the end goal defined, we will highlight necessary skillsets that the average data engineer might need and learning resources to help engineers get started.

🕜 5:10 pm
⭐️ Open for Virtual Networking
