| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. |
| 0:09.0 | Welcome to another episode of ThoughtWorks Technology podcast. |
| 0:13.0 | Jomac, one of your regular hosts. |
| 0:15.0 | And joining me here today are Mike, my other host. |
| 0:20.0 | Hi, Mike. Hello, Jemak. Hi. And we have two of our awesome colleagues who |
| 0:26.3 | work extensively in the field of data and ML, Danilo and David. Welcome. So I'm Danilo Sato. I've been with |
| 0:34.7 | ThoughtWorks for 12 and a half years and I've done a lot of things here in the company from |

| 1:34.8 | and my background prior to ThoughtWorks was in engineering and scientific software for simulations. |
| 1:42.0 | But over time at ThoughtWorks, I've been involved in everything from organizational transformation |
| 1:46.1 | to prototyping smart TV applications. |
