Canada was well-represented in the first-ever SAS global Hackathon as three teams were recognized for their impressive handling of SAS software to solve complex problems.
One of those teams, the Hackanadians, was even featured prominently during SAS chief executive officer Jim Goodnight’s main keynote address Tuesday morning.
Amir Hossini, a senior data scientist from Calgary, together with team members Sarah Aghakhani, Prabhpreet Sidhu, and Heather Friesen – all based in Canada, except for Friesen who had been working in out of the Middle East for the past several months – earned the spotlight thanks to their
Traffic Lights for Life project.
