Our guest is Paco Nathan, a Principal Developer Relations Engineer at Senzing.com (and listed as an “evil mad scientist” on LinkedIn). Paco works a lot within developer communities and tech events, and tries to provide many pointers to learning materials, industry analysis, and connect with many people. He presents talks, workshops, and hands-on tutorials about entity-resolved knowledge graph practices, and the related AI use cases which are downstream.
