The Data Architect: Empowering the Public Sector with AWS Solutions

SEASON 3 EPISODE 4 The Data Architect: Empowering the Public Sector with AWS Solutions Hosted by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Rhetta Chappell⁠⁠⁠⁠ Conversation with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Saeed Barghi and ⁠Dr Tom Verhelst

Being a data-driven organisation means more than just delivering the right data to the right people at the right time; it involves ensuring that decision-makers have access to applications powered by machine learning models, trained with precise datasets, acting as digital assistants to guide their choices.

In this episode, we delve into how Amazon Web Services (AWS) help customers design and build fit-for-purpose data platforms to assist customers on their data journeys, featuring our guest, Saeed Barghi, a Senior Solutions Architect at AWS with a focus on the public sector within the Asia-Pacific and Japan regions. We discuss the importance of managing sensitive data through data masking, encryption methods and security, the cost benefits of transitioning to the cloud, and how AWS's innovative tools are revolutionising public sector operations. This includes using imagery analysis in managing US wildfires and enhancing customer service with artificial intelligence and machine learning powered chatbots. With over 15 years of experience in the design and construction of data platforms, Saaed's dedication to making a difference is evident as he shares how AWS is facilitating significant digital transformations.
