Building and maintaining data pipelines when it’s not your full time job is a pain! So better keep things simple without the need to manage the system yourself. In this talk I’ll show a data pipeline architecture built leveraging some cloud offerings by AWS and Preset.

Data science projects are often characterized by visualizations which
enhances the creative storytelling process and allow us to derive actionable
insights from data. This is enabled through the use of good visualization tools/libraries which enable us to present data in a manner that is interactive and is easily understandable. Often, the action in itself tends to be more significantly remembered by the audience in comparison to static insights. This inturn
calls for the need for using interactive dashboards as a way to present the data.
Currently, the plethora of tools available for this purpose often makes it a tedious task to decide which is the best fit. Often the choice oscillates between learning to use explicit dashboarding tools or using existing python libraries which may allow visualizations but not necessarily dashboarding.
Apart from the cost associated with some of these explicit dashboarding tools, there might also be a learning curve associated with it.
Therefore, in this talk, I would like to take you through a simple pythonic approach of building dainty dashboards using Plotly Dash in python to ease the process of data exploration and allow for interactive visualizations that enable creative storytelling.

In a professional python project, there are many steps one can take to improve its quality. In this talk, I will review some tools that have been useful to me:

• package managers
• code formatters
• code linters
• test runners
• python manager

I will also talk about centralizing the configuration so different tools can act consistently, eg CLI, IDE and CI/CD.

In my talk I will go over the story of how I set up the service that sends text message reminders to patients of the Portuguese primary care health system. I will explain the constraints of working with a distributed silo legacy application and other proprietary projects in a large company, and the impact of that and short deadlines on application design. Python shines through the project for its vast amazing libraries, ease of design and speed of iteration.

New technology now allows machine learning models to be uploaded to the blockchain, enhancing decentralized applications' (dapps) functionality and competitiveness against centralized apps. In this talk, we will discuss how anyone can easily deploy a simple machine learning model to the blockchain.

In Artificial Intelligence systems, a renaissance has unfolded in recent years, captivating the imagination of many! However, a startling statistic emerges amidst the enthusiasm: merely 13% of machine learning models are deployed into production!

Indeed, the artistry of building and deploying these systems supersedes mere scientific methodology as these models dwell within the realm of complexity and are characterized by an inherent reliance on data distribution. Have you ever wondered if these models are trained upon biased data they are destined to produce haywire decisions?

In this talk, let us delve into the realm of ethicality, fairness, and unbiasedness, culminating in the seamless integration of machine learning models that embrace ethical considerations in their journey towards production using Python!

Python usually works the way we expect to, but sometimes it doesn't. This talk is about when to expect the unexpected.

Tavern is an open source pytest plugin aimed to write automated integration tests for HTTP and MQTT APIs. Currently, there isn’t any UI support for it. This talk presents a Visual Studio Code extension that enables easy and fast writing of Tavern tests .

"Unveiling Perspectives: The Art of Data Insight Communication in the Data-Driven Projects" is an engaging presentation that emphasizes the criticality of effectively communicating findings and insights in the field of Data Science. Often overlooked, the final stage of a data-driven project involves presenting results to stakeholders. This talk sheds light on the importance of this stage and explores the art of presenting findings, storytelling, and employing interactive methods to convey complex information in an intuitive manner. By leveraging powerful Python tools such as PyShiny, FastAPI, Streamlit, Flask, and ReactPy, participants will gain insights into how to effectively utilize these tools to enhance their data analysis and ensure understandability and memorability. In addition, the session will touch upon color science principles and other intriguing elements. The speaker will showcase a real-life data-driven project and demonstrate their innovative solution for result communication, providing practical examples and valuable takeaways.
