Miles Adkins - Demystifying Data Science Through Automation of Analytics

Miles Adkins has spent a decade in the data science world, from hedge fund investment models to his current position as A.I. and Machine Learning specialist at Snowflake cloud computing.  He has served in both administrative and customer-facing roles, and is intimately familiar with the successful implementation of data strategies.

In this episode, Miles, Jake and Alec discuss what it was like at the beginning of the automation revolution, why speed can be more important than building custom models, why "on prem" data sacrifices too much, and what's causing all the mergers and acquisitions in big data warehousing companies.
