AI Saturdays is an incredible project I am very proud to collaborate with. Our main goal is, “empower diverse individuals to learn Artificial Intelligence in a collaborative and project-based way”.

As co-organizer of the Madrid chapter, I had the honor of giving the opening keynote for the 3rd edition. The talk was 10 tips I wish I had known before I started a data Journey.

Here are the 10 tips:

1. Context: data, computing power, ML
2. Think in a dimensional way
3. Make sense over dimensions -> Algorithm
4. Clever data over complex algorithms
5. There is NOT a ML problem waiting for you
6. Build end-to-end and iterate fast
7. Open Source, this is not a religion
8. Learn everyday & deal with the impostor syndrome
9. Be Humble
10. Future: Causal Inference, ML Engineer & mix profiles
