Speaker: Kevin Moore
Senior Data Scientist @ Salesforce Einstein
Kevin Moore is a Senior Data Scientist at Salesforce Einstein, where he develops automated machine learning tools in Spark/Scala to make data scientists' lives easier. In his previous life, he was an astrophysicist who focused on modeling the evolution of stars and their eventual explosions. He has a PhD in physics from UC Santa Barbara, was a postdoc at UC Santa Cruz, and was a professor at the Claremont Colleges before joining Salesforce in 2016. When he's not factorizing matrices, Kevin is probably biking, brewing beer, snowboarding, or playing video games.
