In this role, he brings his unique perspective blending a decade of big data experience and wide-ranging deep learning experience to Fortune 500 projects. At the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), Josh drove the integration of Apache Hadoop for large-scale data storage and processing of smart grid phasor measurement unit (PMU) data. Post-TVA, Josh was a principal solutions architect for a young Hadoop startup named Cloudera (CLDR), as employee 34. After leaving Cloudera, Josh co-founded the Deeplearning4j project and co-wrote Deep Learning: A Practitioner's Approach (O'Reilly Media). Josh was also the VP of Field Engineering for Skymind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdam Gibson is a deep learning specialist based in San Francisco who works with Fortune 500 companies, hedge funds, PR firms and startup accelerators to create their machine -learning projects. Adam has a strong track record helping companies handle and interpret big real-time data. Adam has been a computer nerd since he was 13, and actively contributes to the open source community through deeplearning4j.org.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"O'Reilly Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50492644065554,"sku":"9781491914250","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_596717c5-1090-4e40-a718-e8e0f356aa4d.jpg?v=1730600901","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/deep-learning-a-practitioners-approach-9781491914250","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
