Talking with Tech Leaders
Talking with... Andy McMahon, Head of ML Ops at NatWest
For this episode of Talking with Tech Leaders, we’re talking all about the insights and values to be gleaned from the bits and bytes flowing through our everyday lives – to paraphrase our guest, Andy McMahon. The award-winning Data Scientist and Machine Learning expert takes us through his own career journey, from his academic roots with Imperial College, into the private sector with Streamba, Aggreko and now NatWest.
We explore data in depth, chatting through the power and possibilities of machine learning. As you might expect, we touch on what Chat GPT means for organisations like NatWest (and the threat is can represent for organisations like Samsung).
For those of us who aren’t Data Scientists or Machine Learning Engineers, he offers a brilliant breakdown of the different roles involved, as well as explaining the real-world impact of what can seem (to outsiders like us!) like an abstract area of tech.
We also cover his brief foray into television work, as a consultant for a discovery channel show at the crazy end of the science spectrum and chat about his incredible book, Machine Learning Engineering with Python.
Throughout it all, Andy is thoughtful, insightful and engaging – a perfect tech leader to talk to...
