Michael Heller works for the Office of the Chief Data Officer at IBM and is currently Chief Data Scientist in the Banking & Financial Services sector in Australia.
If you are interested in data science then I suggest you grab pen and paper when listening to this episode.
Michael's professional background was originally fixed income trading and working for major banks in the US. One day he realised that he needed to follow his heart and passion.
Michael shares insights in the maths behind analytics, AI/ML, open source frameworks and what banks could do better. He traded bitcoin early on and picked with data science a second major trend - can that be coincidence?
Michael will share his view on the business & technology outlook in general and why Kubernetes will have a major impact on data risk, security and data processing standards.
We get to know a personal side of Michael and explore whether Geeks are polyglot or monolithic and the advantages of being a fat kid.
