Works I contributed to
List of books (for now) I contributed to, and I want to share with you.
Blockchain Tethered AI: Trackable, Traceable Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning
by Karen Kilroy, Lynn Riley, and Deepak Bhatta.
I loved the concept that Karen is pushing in this book. Karen also delivered a talk on this topic at AIDAUG‘s AI on Pi Day in 2022. I was a technical reviewer on this project.
Softcover at Amazon.com, Amazon.ca.
Data Mesh in Action
by Jacek Majchrzak, Sven Balnojan, and Marian Siwiak.
Jacek and his fellow authors have an interesting, more pragmatic approach. I wrote the foreword for Data Mesh in Action.
