I'm smear Rama and I'm the lead of the I'm smear Rama and I'm the lead of the data engineering team at Madame arc I data engineering team at Madame arc I think it's the most exciting thing would think it's the most exciting thing would be sharing the cool stuff we've been be sharing the cool stuff we've been working on at Madame arc I think getting working on at Madame arc I think getting sharing those insights will be very sharing those insights will be very helpful for a lot of other people who helpful for a lot of other people who may be trying to do the same things I think data has always been exciting I think data has always been exciting and cool but maybe it's getting a lot and cool but maybe it's getting a lot more attention nowadays compared to in more attention nowadays compared to in the past because a lot of the bigger the past because a lot of the bigger companies have realized other than companies have realized other than Google and Facebook and these companies Google and Facebook and these companies Microsoft that new in the past the data Microsoft that new in the past the data was important a lot of like mainstream was important a lot of like mainstream companies have realized oh we can make a companies have realized oh we can make a lot of money out of data so now even lot of money out of data so now even though I would say it's always been cool though I would say it's always been cool it's cool because it's making a lot of it's cool because it's making a lot of money I would say there's all like you money I would say there's all like you can build your own search for your own can build your own search for your own information and it will probably do a information and it will probably do a lot better than the appliances that are lot better than the appliances that are out there today so if you have documents out there today so if you have documents that you want to share with your that you want to share with your customers and there's like millions of customers and there's like millions of documents the typical thing to do would documents the typical thing to do would be to use elastic search to allow people be to use elastic search to allow people to search those documents turns out that to search those documents turns out that might not be the best way to like give might not be the best way to like give your customers the best experience so your customers the best experience so maybe you can learn how to give your maybe you can learn how to give your customers a better experience in customers a better experience in searching through your information well I can maybe answer the first one well I can maybe answer the first one all you should ask other people for the all you should ask other people for the second one but I think what you should second one but I think what you should focus on is building core software focus on is building core software engineering skills and then core engineering skills and then core mathematical skills on the types of mathematical skills on the types of things that soft kind of machine things that soft kind of machine learning and neural networks requires so learning and neural networks requires so like linear algebra and a a lot of kind like linear algebra and a a lot of kind of convex optimization type problems of convex optimization type problems like those are the kinds of strengths like those are the kinds of strengths that when you come into machine learning that when you come into machine learning with the stats background with the lish with the stats background with the lish linear algebra background and with the linear algebra background and with the ability to code actual production models ability to code actual production models that that gives you a huge step up even that that gives you a huge step up even if you don't know the hottest algorithms if you don't know the hottest algorithms you probably will intuitively understand you probably will intuitively understand them better when you start reading about them better when you start reading about them you
