- How Fabricio found his way into the data science field and how others with an interest in data science might break into the industry

- Fabricio's current role at the data science company Modak, and how long Modak has been around, its mission and market, and how Fabricio is helping to accelerate the company's growth

- Information about one of Modak's areas of focus - "data fabric" - what it is and how it is different than traditional data architecture

- Looking ahead from January of 2023, when AI and Machine Learning are becoming more commonly used and understood, to an extent, by the general public, at least in the U.S., what predictions Fabricio has regarding AI and Machine Learning moving forward
