NI Digital Expert interview: Jason Bell Polemic Digital

I first got speaking to Jason via Twitter and then we met at a few networking events. We quickly realised we shared an overtly cynical attitude to the vacuous tripe that emerges from Silicon Valley's startup culture, and want to resist the adoption of that culture in the Northern Ireland tech scene. When it comes to big data and machine learning, I know no one more qualified than Jason. He wrote a book about machine learning which has helped me immensely in coming to grips with the topic, even though I can't even begin to understand the mathematics behind it all. Like myself, Jason is not native to Northern Ireland, but he's been here so long he might as well be part of the furniture.
