TECHBYTE 2020 WRITEUP

The event then started with the Technical Session – 1 with our speakers Mr.Andrew Harry, Consulting Software Engineer, LexisNexis and Mr. Deep Narayan,Data Scientist Consultant, IndusTribe Services. 

Mr. Andrew Harry discussed about Cloud Infrastructure and Security.  He  also talked what exactly computing is, he said cloud computing is an on-demand service on pay per use basis. He then explained how it works by eliminating the need of owning your own device and by renting everything from cloud and paying on the basis of what and how much services you have used. Like Gmail uses cloud services, smart phone backups, online streaming etc. He also discussed about cloud history, how to manage clouds and its security. He explained layers of cloud computing: SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS and also discussed about Deployment models. He also shared his personal experiences in the cloud computing and the issues he has faced in his company regarding cloud security, load balancing and many more.

In Technical Session – 1,  our Annual event magazine, “INSIGHT” waslaunched and showcased to the audience by our Convenors Dr. Manjot Kaur Bhatia and Dr. Chetna Laoriya.

Our next speaker, Mr. Deep Narayan,spoke about AI and Data Science. He gave us an insight about various future technologies like- AI, Big data engineering, IOT, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, Virtual Reality, 5G technology, and Quantum Computing. He described howAI in near future will have great impact on humans’ personal life too through an example of RIA- “A chat ROBOT AI dietician, who is helping people manage their weight with HealthyfyMe app. Lastly, Mr. Narayan guided the students on career in data science and AI.
