This week we welcome Joseph Arriola. He is the Data Engineering and AI lead at Yalo Chat and he is also the host of Big Data Guatemala Meetup group. Joseph is passionate about technology related to the power of the data . His experience as an engineer started in development in different languages and he later found interest in how technology met business with data, so he migrated to the world of analytics.

Joseph chats with us about chatbots, Tensorflow models, and the handoff between his engineering team and the data science team. Follow us for more great data engineering conversations.

Data Renegades - Ep. #1, Introducing Data Renegades

As AI becomes central to how organizations operate, one thing is clear: “good enough” data isn’t AI-ready.

This holiday song was created as a lighthearted reflection on a very real challenge, AI initiatives don’t succeed on models alone. They succeed on trusted, governed, AI-ready data.

Just a little fun for the season, with a message that carries into the new year. 🎄🎶
