PyData Eindhoven & Eindhoven Data Community
We are very happy to announce that we are organizing the 16th Eindhoven Data Community meetup in collaboration with PyData Eindhoven! We will host this meetup at the NXP Headquarters, located at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven. During this meetup, we will dive deeper into costs and optimization of jobs in the world of data.

HPC Job Prophet: An end-to-end data science application
A semiconductor company such as NXP relies heavily on High Performance Computing (HPC) to design and develop products. For a company, the size of NXP, inefficient use of the computing resources has a financial impact as well as an impact on the HPC environment. The HPC Job Prophet is a data science application that leverages machine learning to predict resource utilization, leading to more efficient use of the compute resources at NXP.

Optimizing Your Cloud Spending: Practical Tips for Cost Control
Join Niels as he guides you through the process of gaining greater control over your cloud costs. Discover effective strategies for visualizing and attributing costs to specific users or departments, empowering you to make informed decisions. Learn how to optimize your costs and raise awareness among your team, ultimately driving down expenses and maximizing the value of your cloud investments.

Fernando Piris Font | Data Scientist at NXP
Originally from Spain, I moved to the UK to pursue university studies in Mathematics. At the end of my degree, I was introduced to machine learning and data science. This inspired me to complete my master's in AI and Machine Learning. Two and a half years ago, I moved to the Netherlands to start an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) in Data Science. During my EngD, I carried out projects in multiple companies before completing my thesis at NXP. I enjoyed the work at NXP so much that I continued my career here after completing my EngD.

Niels Zeilemaker | CTO at Xebia Data
Niels Zeilemaker is the CTO of Xebia Data, a data consultancy firm based in Amsterdam. At Xebia Data, Niels is responsible for loosely defining the tech stack we use at clients. Niels has worked for a wide range of companies, ranging from small startups such as Yolt to large tech natives such as Booking. Around 50% of his time he still spends on client work, where he enjoys getting his hand dirty every now and then.

Before joining Xebia Data, he finished his PhD thesis at the Technical University of Delft. During 4 years he spend his time doing research into P2P systems, primarily focusing on privacy and cooperation. Applying encryption and anonymization techniques in the P2P domain. It was a relatively small change from P2P into decentralized computing, as many algorithms overlap between the two domains.
