About The Speaker
Danny Leybzon
Danny D. Leybzon has worn many hats, all of them related to data. He studied computational statistics at UCLA, before becoming first an analyst and then a product manager at a big data platform named Qubole. Since then, he has worked to evangelize machine learning best practices, talking on subjects such as distributed deep learning, productionizing machine learning models, and automated machine learning. When Danny's not researching, practicing, or talking about data science, he's usually doing one of his numerous outside hobbies: rock climbing, backcountry backpacking, skiing, etc.
