Speaker Bio:
Holly Smith is a Staff Developer Advocate at Databricks, a multi‑award‑winning Data and AI expert, and a first‑rate tech educator. One of the earliest members of the Databricks crew, she’s spent over a decade at the sharp end of data and AI, helping teams turn big ideas into working solutions.
A familiar face on stage, Holly’s known for her clear, engaging talks and her knack for making complex topics click. She’s also the brains behind many YouTube videos on AI and data engineering - equal parts practical know‑how and good humour. In short: if it’s data, AI, and worth knowing, Holly’s probably already talking about it.
