MLOps podcast #223 with Shane Morris, Senior Executive Advisor of Devis, Data Engineering in the Federal Sector.

// Abstract

Let's focus on autonomous systems rather than automation, and then super-narrow it down to smaller, cheaper, and more accessible autonomous systems.

// Bio

A former music and entertainment data and software person somehow moves into defense and national security, with hilarious and predictable results.
