    27: Building Open Source Data Startup with Airbyte CEO, Michel Tricot

    We talk with Michel Tricot, who is the Founder and CEO of Airbyte, which is an open source data integration Y Combinator startup. It has raised over $30M in capital and has been growing quite fast. It was a great conversation and I think you will also enjoy it. 🎉 We cover lots of things in the podcast including:  1. Technical aspects of what Airbyte does, how it sits in the ETL/ ELT landscape, how it differs from other tools such as Fivetran, Stich etc.  2. Data Warehouses being a canonical source of data and how Airbyte helps with bringing the data into the warehouse.  3. How Airbyte works as an open source data tool.  4. Life aspects of running a fast growing start-up including raising capital, hiring etc.  Links to the tools/ services mentioned:  1. Airbyte: airbyte.io 2.

    26: Building Data Engineering Pipelines at Scale (with Data Warehouse, Spark and Airflow)

    Imagine you are at a beach and you are hanging out and seeing all the waves come and go and all the shells on the beach. And you get an idea. How about you collect these shells and make necklaces to sell? Well how would you go about doing this? Maybe you’d collect a few shells and make a small necklace and try to show to your friend. This is where we begin our journey on learning about data engineering pipelines.  Using an example of running a necklace business from shells - we learn about the following data engineering concepts:  1. ETL - Extract Transform Load vs ELT - Extract Load Transform concepts. Why Data Warehouses are great for analytics.  2. Spark for large data processing and hosting / running 3. Data orchestration using Airflow My blog on Towards Data Science about moving from Pandas to Spark: https://towardsdatascience.com/moving-from-pandas-to-spark-7b0b7d956adb  Great book to learn about Spark: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1492050040/?tag=omnilence-20  Tools covered in the episode:  dbt: https://www.getdbt.com/  Databricks: https://databricks.com/ EMR: https://aws.amazon.com/emr/ AWS Redshift: https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/ Snowflake: https://www.snowflake.com/ Delta Lake: https://databricks.com/product/delta-lake-on-databricks

    23: Let’s Talk AWS SageMaker for ML Model Deployment

    In this episode, we talk about Amazon SageMaker and how it can help with ML model development including model building, training and deployment. We cover 3 advantages in each of these 3 areas.  We cover points such as: 1. Host ML endpoints for deploying models to thousands or millions of users. 2. Saving costs for model training using SageMaker. 3. Use CloudWatch logs with SageMaker endpoints to debug ML models.  4. Use preconfigured environments or models provided by AWS. 5. Automatically save model artifacts in AWS S3 as you train in SageMaker.  6. Use of version control for SageMaker notebooks with Github. and more…  Please rate, subscribe and share this episode with anyone who might find SageMaker useful in their work. I feel that SageMaker is a great tool and want to share about it with data scientists.  For comments/feedback/questions or if you think I have missed something in the episode, please reach out to me at LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanketgupta107/

    21: Why Scikit-Learn and Keras are Awesome for ML

    In this episode, we talk about why the two libraries Scikit-Learn and Keras are great for machine learning. These two libraries combined with Pandas form the 3 core libraries in Python for a data scientist today.  We cover things like: 1)  Data Exploration and data cleaning - how Pandas and Jupyter notebooks provide a good way to get started here. 2) Data Transformation - how Scikit-Learn provides many useful functions like train_test_split, Scalers, PCA etc. 3) Data Fitting - how Scikit-Learn provides good shallow models and Keras provides great support to quickly get started with neural networks. We also cover various tidbits on things to take note in building ML pipelines and preparing models to be deployed in production, so tune into the episode to find out! Fantastic Resources: 1) Book by head of Youtube DS team Aurelien Geron: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1492032646/?tag=omnilence-20 This is one of the best book I have read on this topic as it covers practical tips incl. Scikit-Learn API etc. 2) Developing Scikit-Learn estimators: https://scikit-learn.org/stable/developers/develop.html 3) Guide to Keras Sequential API: https://keras.io/getting-started/sequential-model-guide/ 4) Guide to Keras Functional API: https://keras.io/getting-started/functional-api-guide/ 5) My previous episode on Pandas: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/17-why-pandas-is-the-new-excel/id1453716761?i=1000454831790 Thanks for listening!
