An A.I. expert for nearly 40 years, Vincent Gosselin adores the field's lingua franca, Python. In today's episode, hear how he created its open-source Taipy library so you can easily build Python-based web apps and scalable, reusable data pipelines.

Vincent:
• Is CEO and co-founder of taipy.io, an open-source Python library that works up and down the stack to both easily build web applications and back-end data pipelines.
• Having obtained his Masters in CS and A.I. from the Université Paris-Saclay in 1987, he’s amassed a wealth of experience across a broad range of industries, including semiconductors, finance, airspace, and logistics.
• Has held roles including Director of Software Development at ILOG, Director of Advanced Analytics at IBM, and VP of Advanced Analytics at DecisionBrain.

Today’s episode will appeal primarily to hands-on practitioners who are keen to hear about how they can be accelerating their productivity in Python, whether it’s on the front end (to build a data-driven web-application) or on the back end (to have scalable, reusable and maintainable data pipelines). That said, Vincent’s breadth of wisdom — honed over his decades-long A.I. career — may prove to be fascinating and informative to technical and non-technical listeners alike.

In this episode, Vincent details:
• The critical gaps in Python development that led him to create Taipy.
• How much potential there is for data-pipeline engineering to be improved.
• How shifting toward lower-code environments can accelerate Python development without sacrificing any flexibility.
• The 50-year-old programming language that was designed for A.I. and that he was nostalgic for until Python emerged on the scene.
