Pulling Back the Curtain on Platform Engineering: How Technology Skills Will Come to Life in Your Career

Abstract: You’ve put years into programming. Devoted hours to developing. Got adventurous with AI. But while computer science is incredibly cool, how do all those strategies and techniques you’re learning connect to what tech companies are currently doing? Jared Peterson, senior vice president of Platform Engineering at SAS, gives you a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the SAS approach to data and AI – and connects what you’re covering in class with what the developers, engineers, systems architects and other tech professionals in his division do on a daily basis.
