#57 S. LOCKE / S. WILLIAMS: BUILD A STARTUP / L. GHAHREMANLOU - AUTOML ON AZURE

// STEPH LOCKE & SARAH WILLIAMS - THE INSIDE OF NIGHTINGALE: BUILDING A STARTUP

We're building a startup called Nightingale HQ and we're still working out the best way to tell you what it does! Come along to this talk to see into an early-stage startup and see what the business stuff is like and what the tech stack behind us is. Learn about what it takes, what resources are available to you, and how you approach building for rapid change and for scale.

// ABOUT STEPH AND SARAH

Steph's a data science consultant with a black belt in educating people in better uses of their data. Sarah is a tech extraordinaire who helps startups achieve a tech stack and approach that supports the business strategy. Together, they head up Nightingale HQ. When they're not CEO and CTO-ing it up, Steph spends her time globetrotting to conferences and Sarah goes nuts for Eurovision. Follow them on twitter at @theStephLocke and @ff0brickcode for the trials and tribulations of tech, startups, and most importantly, having doggo overlords.
