Data Science and Data Engineering in the Federal Space with Dr. Pragyansmita Nayak

A lot of data scientists work in the private sector: finance,
adtech, retail, and all that.  Today's guest offers her
perspective on what it means to do data work in the federal
space.In this conversation, our Senior Content Advisor Q McCallum
spoke with Dr. Pragyansmita Nayak, Chief Data Scientist at
Hitachi Vantara Federal.  They explored how different
federal agencies use data and how they share datasets with each
other. They also talked about how to measure operational
efficiency, when you can't rely on metrics like "profit." And,
the big question: should we release t-shirts that read "just
give me my AI solution!" ?You can find Pragyan online:
