Interested in genealogy?  Curious about DNA?  Fascinated by the world of big data?  If so, come check out my talk  at the Global Big Data Conference on DNA day this Friday, April 25 at 4pmPT in the Santa Clara Convention Center!  I’ll cover Jermline, our massively-scalable DNA matching application.  I’ll talk about our business, give a run-through of the matching algorithm, and even throw in a few Game of Thrones jokes.  It’ll be fun!  Hope to see you there.

 

Update: Thanks to everyone that  attended my presentation! You can find the slides on the Ancestry.com Slideshare account for your reference.
