About — in the speaker's own words
I am a Software Engineer at Anaconda, Inc. developing open-source and client-specific solutions for data management, visualization and analysis. I am the author of the open source dashboarding and visualization libraries Panel, hvPlot and GeoViews and one of the core developers of Bokeh and HoloViews. I have a strong background in the Python data science stack with experience in visualization, ML and numerical analysis. Before making the switch to software development I completed my PhD and Masters in Computational Neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh working on biologically inspired, deep and recurrent neural network models of the mammalian visual system.
