A few weeks ago, along with Zipfian Academy and Rackspace's Geekdom, we hosted a Data Science Chat with Kevin Novak of Uber.
We had previously done an interview with Kevin for our Off the Charts series, and it was great to catch up and do an interview in front of a live audience.
During the chat we covered topics like:
How Kevin got into data science
How data science has evolved at Uber
What tools they're using
Interesting projects Uber has done
Hints at what's next for Uber
What Uber looks for when hiring Data Scientists
Have a look at the video above, or if you like a written version some of it is covered in our Off the Charts interview.
A huge thanks to Kevin for sharing his knowledge and answering all of our questions. For more talks like this one take a look at the SF Data Science Meetup, or follow us on Twitter.
