Speaker:David Johnston ,Lead Data Scientist at ThoughtWorks
Outline: The fast-growing Agile Analytics group at ThoughtWorks provides data-science consulting and analytics software development for businesses and other organizations. Our data scientists, mostly former scientists, bring new capabilities to ThoughtWorks including mathematical and statistical modeling, machine learning and data analysis experience. A major strength of our group is that, being embedded in ThoughtWorks, we can deliver large software projects with a data-science component in addition to smaller analytics-only projects.
David will discuss the work TWers do, the field of data-science consulting as well as ideas and opinions of where he thinks the field of Big Data and data science came from, what it is now and where it may be heading.
