[Baypiggies] Thursday's BayPiggies Meeting: Iterator Lightning Talk and Ray

[Jeff Fischer]

*Thursday August 26th, 2021 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm*

We hope you had a great summer! We return for two exciting talks on August
26th:


   1. Lightning talk on Iterators from Amish Shah
   2. Full talk on Ray from Michael Galarnyk

Lightning Talk: Iterators
This talk is about iterables and iterators, showing why we use them, how
powerful they are, and how you can build your own custom iterators.

Speaker Bio: Amish Shah

Amish Shah works at Palo Alto Networks as an engineer on the Prisma Cloud
product. He has acquired experiences in various software engineering
domains: web development, mobile applications, distributed computing, cloud
architecture, big data at different startups. Previously, Amish built cloud
based and mobile products, enterprise DW/BI and big data systems at Qventus
and Kno. Amish holds a Masters in Computer Engineering from University of
Texas at Austin.
Main Talk: Ray, A System for Parallel and Distributed Machine Learning

Distributed computing is becoming the norm, and this trend is driven
largely by the computational requirements of machine learning applications.
However, building distributed applications today requires tons of
expertise. This talk introduces Ray and how it makes it easy to scale your
python applications without rewriting them.

Speaker Bio: Michael Galarnyk

Michael Galarnyk works in Developer Relations at Anyscale, the company
behind the Ray Project. In his spare time, he teaches Python based Machine
Learning classes through Stanford Continuing Studies and LinkedIn Learning.
