@Phyian_karinge @Miss_Moreena @MicrosoftADC Thank you @Phyian_karinge

[WiDS Kenya @KenyaWids]

@Miss_Moreena Hey! Thank you for expressing interest. We have conferences annually around IWD. Stay tuned for updates.

[WiDS Kenya @KenyaWids]

It was an honor to have you share with us! Thank you.

[Phyian in tech @Phyian_karinge]

Was honoured to speak at @MicrosoftADC for the @KenyaWids IWD event.

I learnt and shared on Data Sparsity

Did you know that companies like Amazon, a company with millions of data, also experience data sparsity?

Data sparsity also entails data that does not entirely bring value
