Jordy Kieto is a Data Scientist at the NBA & Columbia University.. He was previously a Machine Learning Engineer at Pepsico after switching to Data Science from Software Engineering. He studied English & Drama during university, & made the transition into tech through self-study & attending hackathons. This passion for the liberal arts has translated into a desire to ethically use data for bettering lives.
Moumita Bhattacharya is a Senior Data Scientist at Etsy, a two-sided marketplace for buyers & sellers. At Etsy, Moumita develops recommendation systems to show relevant items to Etsy users.

As a part of another project, she worked on a new module recommending shops for a user on the Etsy app, which led to increased conversion rates. She is currently building custom objective functions to optimize for metrics beyond relevance & is also incorporating different contexts in recommendations. Moumita has a PhD in Computer Science with a focus on Machine Learning & its applications in disease prediction & patient risk stratification. During her PhD, she developed machine learning methods for risk prediction of heart disease & chronic kidney disease, in collaboration with cardiologists from John Hopkins & nephrologists from the largest hospital in Delaware. Prior to grad school, Moumita worked as a software engineer for three years in the financial services industry.
