Facilitator: Adrin Jalali

Adrin grew up in Iran, where he did my bachelors and masters in computer science/bioinformatics. After a while of being in the industry he moved to Vancouver, Canada for his PhD program. Next, he moved to Germany to finish his PhD dissertation at a Max Planck Institute in Saarbruecken. In 2016 Adrin moved to Berlin and he's been working as a data science consultant. He co-organizes PyData Berlin, and spends a lot of time contributing to scikit-learn, as a core developer.

ACKNOWLEDMENT: RESHAMA SHAIKH

Reshama Shaikh organized the inaugural WiMLDS scikit-learn sprint beginning in 2017, and has since organized several more sprints. She has iteratively improved the process with each sprint:

    • 2017: NYC
    • 2018: NYC
    • 2019: Nairobi
    • 2019: NYC
    • 2019: Bay Area

She created comprehensive documentation and provides guidance so that other groups are able to organize them as well:
