In our 6th meetup, we spoke with the CEO of Scribble Data Dr. Venkata Pingali.

Scribble helps build and operate production feature engineering platforms for sub-fortune 1000 firms. The output of the platforms is consumed by data science and analytical teams. In this talk we discuss how we understand the problem space, and the architecture of the platform that we built for preparing trusted model-ready datasets that are reproducible, auditable, and quality checked, and the lessons learned in the process. We will touch upon topics like classes of consumers, disciplined data transformation code, metadata and lineage, state management, and namespaces. This system and discussion complements work done on data science platforms such as Domino and Dotscience.
