In this podcast episode, we welcome Matt Sharp, author of "LLMs in Production." Matt, with a background in chemical engineering and a journey through data science, shares his insights on the development and running of Large Language Models (LLMs) in light of his upcoming book release.

Matt's experience spans from data analysis in the semiconductor industry to exploring deep learning and computer vision. His work led him to focus on the practical deployment of models, especially in the realm of Machine Learning Operations (MLOps).

His book, co-authored with Chris Brousseau, offers a unique look into both the theoretical and practical sides of LLMs, making it a great resource for those interested in the field.

Tune into our podcast for more of Matt's expert insights and stay updated on the evolving world of data science and machine learning.

Welcome to the third episode of Scale-Up AI. Today on the show, we have Kathy Copic, partner at Fieldwork Partners and former VP of growth at Insight Data Science. 

In this episode, we discuss the difficulties of hiring for data roles. Hiring is never easy, but in a field as young as Data Science and AI, the issues are plentiful, and solutions are far few between 

Kathy has a treasure trove of information and knowledge to share from helping data teams hire the best talent in the industry for nearly a decade. She has helped over 3000 Ph.D. and industry professionals land a job in the industry through the Insight Data Science program and has since started a boutique data hiring consultancy firm. 

She shares her take on successful hiring policies, including the importance of a structured interview process and alignment among interviewers. 

Sit down, grab a drink and enjoy the show! 

Welcome to today's episode of Scale-up AI, where we sit down with tech industry expert George Williams to delve into the world of AI. With over 20 years of experience across various disciplines and companies, George brings a wealth of knowledge to our conversation.
