This just in: Dhanurjay 'DJ' Patil, the White House Deputy CTO for Data Policy and Chief Data Scientist, will give closing remarks at Saturday's Miami National Day of Civic Hacking 2016 #hackforchange.
About him: Patil joined the White House following an incredible career as a data scientist — a term he helped coin — in the public and private sectors, and in academia. Most recently, he served as the Vice President of Product at RelateIQ, which was acquired by Salesforce. He also previously held positions at LinkedIn, Greylock Partners, Skype, PayPal, and eBay. Prior to his work in the private sector, Patil worked at the Department of Defense, where he directed new efforts to bridge computational and social sciences in fields like social network analysis to help anticipate emerging threats to the United States.
He'll be giving his remarks at the end of the day and is flying into Miami specifically for this event. Read more about participating in Saturday's s Miami National Day of Civic Hacking 2016 here.
