6:30-7:30 - Jo-Fai's talk

7:30-8:00 - Q&A

In this talk, Jo-fai (or Joe) will share his joyful (yet sometimes very painful) Kaggle experience since joining the data mining competition platform. Coming from a rather traditional engineering background, data science was once like a complete myth to him. Joe will explain why participating in Kaggle is one of the most effective ways to kick-start a data science career. He will also explain how he used H2O for two Kaggle competitions: Rossmann Store Sales (2015) and Santander Product Recommendation (2016).


Bio:Jo-fai (or Joe) is a data scientist at H2O.ai. Before joining H2O, he was in the business intelligence team at Virgin Media in UK where he developed data products to enable quick and smart business decisions. He also worked remotely for Domino Data Lab in US as a data science evangelist promoting products via blogging and giving talks at meetups. Joe has a background in water engineering. Before his data science journey, he was an EngD research engineer at STREAM Industrial Doctorate Centre working on machine learning techniques for drainage design optimization. Prior to that, he was an asset management consultant specialized in data mining and constrained optimization for the utilities sector in UK and abroad. He also holds a MSc in Environmental Management and a BEng in Civil Engineering.
