In this episode, Emily and Dave chat with Kesha Williams, Principal Training Architect at A Cloud Guru. Kesha is both an Alexa Champion and an AWS Hero where she focuses on helping others get up to speed with machine learning. Kesha discusses her multi decade career, her time as a senior Java developer, her journey to the cloud, learning Python, and steps she took to get started in machine learning. Along the way we cover the ethics of AI, the importance of diverse data sets, and what machine learning can bring to help us all build a better future.
