Design data pipeline with GenAI Rockie Yang

GenAI has dramatically changed the whole industry in the past few years. How can we in the data space maximally utilize the GenAI to create more value faster? In the talk Rockie Yang will share a pragmatic way to bring in LLM/RAG to achieve smooth end-to-end user experience for data pipeline design. The question he will tackle include - How to utilize the GenAI while keeping data privacy? - How to avoid context switch during data pipeline design\, run\, testing\, etc? - How to cope with 7±2 law while handling large data pipelines? - How to enable co-working of different stakeholders in the same environment?

Speakers Bio: Rockie Yang is a data practitioner with 20 years of software development experience and 8 years of data/AI space in multiple industries. He is passionate about realizing business value with flawless design and designing reliable solutions that bring business value constantly.
