This next segment features our 2020 HPCC Systems Community Recognition Award winner, Dr G Shobha, Professor, CSE Department from R V College of Engineering (RVCE) in Bengaluru, India speaking with our host, Flavio Villanustre, VP Technology & CISO, LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group. Dr Shobha begins by sharing how she learned about HPCC Systems in 2016 through a conference where Arjuna Chala delivered a keynote. Seeing how he was an alumni of RVCE, an instant connection was made and their collaboration journey started. The discussion continues with Dr Shobha highlighting the number of projects her team has worked – seven in total so far, covering various aspects of HPCC Systems components. She explains how the benefits of working with an open source platform allows her students to contribute back to the community in the form of talks, papers and bundles. This gives them great exposure to real-world experience and also gives great visibility to the university as well. Dr Shobha announces the new course she is teaching at the university on big data analytics leveraging HPCC Systems and looking forward to facilitating additional workshops and hackathons, not only at RVCE, but other local colleges in India, helping to further expand our International community!
