Filed Under: Data, Data Podcast, Data Science


Colin Bartol has led a team that built 46% of the servers for Tricare West which covers 2.6 million people for the military which required security for NIST, PCI, and HIPPA. He has his MBA from Carlson school of management, CISSP, and is a SME for the CompTIA Project+ exam. Having been a consultant at 5 Fortune 100 companies in e-commerce, financial services, and retail sectors Colin has a wide experience of what happens in information technology. He is currently employed in telecommunications at a major health insurance company.
Interviewers: Rajib Bahar, Shabnam Khan

Discussion:
- Your background is largely in computer security infrastructure... Tell us about your Data Science related experience? We would like to hear about Affinity project
- What is Data Lake? How have you utilized it?
- I noticed HealthCare industry is hiring Big Data experts like crazy... Are you involved in similar project in your department?
- We are interested in learning about Tricare West
- As it relates to computer Security, what tips or recommendations do you have on securing data and infrastructure in general? and Social media presence

Daniel Whitenack (@dwhitena): Data Science language GO, Containers, Reproducibility

Daniel (@dwhitena) is a Ph.D. trained data scientist working with Pachyderm (@pachydermIO). Daniel develops innovative, distributed data pipelines which include predictive models, data visualizations, statistical analyses, and more. He has spoken at conferences around the world (ODSC, Spark Summit, Datapalooza, DevFest Siberia, GopherCon, and more), teaches data science/engineering with Ardan Labs (@ardanlabs), maintains the Go kernel for Jupyter, and is actively helping to organize contributions to various open source data science projects.

Interviewer: Rajib Bahar

Agenda:
- Many of us may or may not be aware of "Jupyter Notebook", which is a web application to write codes in various Languages such is R, Python, Julia, node.js, GoLang, Ruby, & Scala. That appliation in turn creates separate process in the Kernel to receive output from the OS and return the output back to the web application. One of the coolest thing you do is to maintain the Kernela on GoLang aka Go. Currently, Data Scientists tend to gravitate toward either R, or Python as language. You're playing with a bit more modern languages in data science. Why Go? How is it more useful in statistical analysis or Data visualization?
- How do you achive reproducibility in data science?
- Most of us heard of Virtual Machine tools such as VMWare, Virtual PC, Virtual Box. This is the 1st time I heard of containers. What are some key benefits of it?Are there websites such as Turnkey hub where you can get some good images of various OS / software / DBMS platforms?
- What are some best practices around deploying Data Science Models? Do you do something similar to DBAs or DataEngineers to run a job at certain frequencies in the day or hour?
- How do you use data pipelines in your project? Is that something used in ETL like Data-Wrangling process?
- Please tell us where we can find you in social media?
