This week, iconic Stanford University Deep Learning instructor and entrepreneur Kian Katanforoosh details how ML powers his EdTech platform Workera, enabling you to systematically fill gaps in your data science skills.
Kian:
• Is Co-Founder and CEO of Workera, a Bay Area education technology company that has raised $21m in venture capital to upskill workers, with a particular early focus on upskilling technologists like data scientists, software developers, and machine learning specialists.
• Is a lecturer of computer science at Stanford University (specifically, he teaches the extremely popular CS230 Deep Learning course alongside Prof. Andrew Ng, one of the world’s best-known data scientists).
• Was awarded Stanford’s highest teaching award.
• Is also a founding member of DeepLearning.AI, a platform through which he’s taught over three million students deep learning.
• Holds a Masters in Math and Computer Science from CentraleSupélec.
• Holds a Masters in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford.
By and large, today’s episode will appeal to any listener who’s keen to understand the latest in education technology, but there are parts here and there that will specifically appeal to practicing technologists like data scientists and software developers.
In this episode, Kian details:
• What a skills intelligence platform is.
• Four ways that machine learning drives his skills intelligence platform.
• What frameworks and software languages they selected for building their platform and why.
• What he looks for in the data scientists and software engineers he hires.
