“Making Pandas Fly” at EuroPython 2020

I’ve had a chance to return to talking about High Performance Python at EuroPython 2020 after my first tutorial on this topic back in 2011 in Florence. Today I spoke on Making Pandas Fly with a focus on making Pandas run faster. This covered: Categories and RAM-saving datatypes to make 100-500x speed-ups (well, some of […]

“Making Pandas Fly” for PyDataAmsterdam 2020

I thank the PyDataAmsterdam 2020 organisers for another chance to speak on Making Pandas Fly (PyDataAmsterdam 2020). This variant of the talk focuses more on: Understanding when categories beat strings and smaller floats beat larger ones What’s happening with NumPy behind the scenes How we can save 50% of our RAM (and so fit in […]

Higher Performance Python (ODSC 2019)

Building on PyDataCambridge last week I had the additional pleasure of talking on Higher Performance Python at ODSC 2019 yesterday. I had a brilliant room of 300 Pythonic data scientists at all levels who asked an interesting array of questions: This talk expanded on last week’s version at PyDataCambridge as I had some more time.

“Higher Performance Python” at PyDataCambridge 2019

I’ve had the pleasure of speaking at the first PyDataCambridge conference (2019), this is the second PyData conference in the UK after PyDataLondon (which colleagues and I co-founded 6 years back). I’m super proud to see PyData spread to 6 regional meetups and now 2 UK conferences. We had over 200 attendees and the conference […]

Talking on “High Performance Python” at Linuxing In London last week

Mario of PyLondonium (where I gave a keynote talk earlier this year) was kind enough to ask me along to speak at Linuxing in London. I gave an updated version of one of my older High Performance Python talks based on material I’d covered in my book, to show the more-engineering audience how to go […]

Data-Science stuff I’m doing this year

2014 was an interesting year, 2015 looks to be even richer. Last year I got to publish my High Performance Python book, help co-organise the rather successful PyDataLondon2014 conference, teach High Performance in public (slides online) and in private, keynote on The Real Unsolved Problems in Data Science and start my ModelInsight AI agency. That […]

My Keynote at PyConIreland 2014 – “The Real Unsolved Problems in Data Science”

I’ve just given the opening keynote here at PyConIreland 2014 – many thanks to the organisers for letting me get on stage. This is based on 15 years experience running my own consultancies in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. (Small note  – with the pic below James mis-tweeted ‘sexist’ instead of ‘sexiest’ (from my opening slide) […]
