Vincent Van Steenbergen is a Senior Data Engineer who’s been working on Big Data projects using Machine Learning (recommender system, fraud detection) and more recently Deep Learning (voice analysis, natural language processing). With a long time interest for machine learning and a strong engineering background, he tries to take the best of both worlds by using big data stacks and functional programming patterns to scale machine learning solutions. He talks on local and international meetups and conferences about Spark, Akka, Scala and Cassandra as well as Machine Learning and Deep Learning. He’s also one of the organizers of the Functional Programming Meetup and Machine Learning Meetup in Bordeaux.
