Two new programs we're planning and will launch soon: 1) Career Coaching Session; and 2) study sessions in conjunction with Coursera Machine Learning Specialization.
On October 6th, we're running an engineer-to-engineer career coaching session. Participants will meet with five coaches during a 30 minute slot. I've asked that coaches not pitch a position or opportunity and instead tune advice for the individual seeking coaching. WeWork Holyoke is hosting us for free in their new Downtown Seattle location. Anthology is sponsoring food and beverages. Seattle nano-breweries have limited supply, but we were able to secure 1/6bbl from Stoup Brewery of their Mosaic Pale. We're serving bánh mì from Saigon Vietnam Deli. Some claim it's amongst the best bánh mì in the US. Anybody interested in the results of this experiment, I'm happy to collect your contact and share when we complete the event. Here's a list of our coaches: Alan Vezina, Founder and CTO Jydo Avilay Parekh, Founder AvilayLabs LLC Carter Rabasa, Product Manager Twilio Colin Dietrich, Research Scientist NOAA George Murray, Delivery Lead Indeed Ian Shafer, Founder Anthology Joel Grus, Engineer Google John Helm, CTO OmniRetail John Hunter, Founder Push Agency Nick Denny, Founder and CTO APImetrics Phil Kimmey, Founder Rover Rahul Singh, Founder Distelli Yannick Gingras, Engineering Manager Facebook Dusty Phillips, Production Engineer Facebook Andrew Chalfant, Production Engineer Facebook Ben Reilly, Technology Lead Reup Dan Simmonds, Engineer Amazon Charlotte Tan, Engineer Extrahop Brenden West, Founder Tech Mentors Jason Foote, Lead Engineer Offerup Robert Mao, Founder Pixotale Cris Ewing, Owner of Cris Ewing, Developer, LLC, Instructor Code Fellows, UW Python Certificate Kody Kochaver, Founder and CEO of Jydo Carlos Guestrin founder of Dato and Amazon Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Washington in collaboration with a fellow Amazon Profession of Machine Learning created a Coursera Machine Learning specialization. About 30 PuPPy members have committed to taking the course, attending a keynote delivered by Carlos, and participate in study sessions hosted by General Assembly in Seattle. Link to Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/machine-learning Seattle D/A/ML in Seattle organized by Jake Mannix of the Allen Institute for AI, Alice Zheng Director of Data Science at Dato, and Trey Causey Data Scientist at Dato, will recruit their members to join PuPPy in the study sessions. Also, Alice is recruiting colleagues from Dato to help tutor our PuPPy members joining the study sessions. Also, anybody with interest in the results of this experiment, let me know and I'm happy to update with a report.
