We Do Community: Machine Learning at SacTown Women in Data Science Group Draws Crowd - Hortonworks

Tuesday night I had the opportunity to visit Hacker Lab, where the Sacramento Women in Data Science hosted Dr. Ian Brooks, one of our super-talented Solutions Engineers. SWDS has over 500 members and regularly hosts data science events to help grow the data science and analytics community for, but not exclusive to, women. Groups such as the Sacramento Women in Data Science (SWDS) are vital to help grow the field of data science, and it appears their work is taking off. Ian is focused on our public sector customers. He is currently helping state and local governments leverage Big Data for machine learning and analytics around management of resources such as water, and innovation around traffic volume and other critical infrastructure.
