Videos and Talks

I frequently give talks, here is a selection. You can also see how my hair’s gotten grey over the past few years.

Data Science in Production

One topic I am quite fond of right now is what it takes to put data science into production, both in terms of architectures, product development, team organization, etc.

Here is a keynote I gave in April 2019 at the very nice annual  GAIA conference in Gothenburg.
