What we’re about
[Follow our latest updates at BigDataX.tech]
Our Mission: To create a sharing community to build up practical data processing literacy in Singapore and around the region.
What we do: To proliferate Big Data usage is at our core, but as all geeky nerds, we also follow other trends in tech, and let these trends shape our views. We’re called BigDataX because we want to cross over to related fields when required to get things working, for no field is superior and could grow on its own.
