Meeting at the Google San Francisco office
A beautiful view from the San Francisco office balcony
One of my favorite offices in Google is the San Francisco office. I really love coming here for meetings despite of crazy parking situation.
A beautiful sunset!
It is especially more beautiful as the sun starts to set and everything turns orangish pink.
It is now time to grab a cup of coffee and start heading home.
Freedom!! Traffic!!
A new autonomous vehicles in training.
ONE MORE THING - A few upside of being in downtown San Francisco is that you get to see new autonomous vehicles getting training and making stupid mistakes.
A Quick trip to U.C. Berkeley
U.C. Berkeley Campus
Still a bit chilly spring day. I wanted to take a quick walk around the campus.
And up course, a quick stop at the Cory hall to meet a friend.
And one of my favorite hangouts near the campus.
Good Bye Squirrel!
ML Engineering Workshop at IIT
ML engineering is the intersection of machine learning data science and software/systems engineering. It's an emerging field that demands a broad and deep skillset in multiple domains.
Hosted by Garrett Smith at Illinois Institute of Technology
Agenda:
10:00 - 10:45 - Introduction to ML engineering part 1
10:45 - 11:30 - Introduction to ML engineering part 2
11:30 - 12:30 - Coding problem definition
12:30 - 1:00 - Working lunch
1:00 - 3:00 - Coding sessions
3:00 - 4:00 - Show and tell

I attended the full day hands on workshop at the IIT. The workshop covered the basics and hands on portion had the groups divide up according to the skill level and topics based on the interest. As a result, the pace was kept at a high speed while the teams having opportunity to get support from Garrett. I also recommend checking out the GuildAI which Garrett developed a few years ago. It is fully open source and allows automation of the ML workflow. Thanks for the great session!
