Description

Want to be featured as a guest on Making Data Simple? Reach out to us at [almartintalksdata@gmail.com] and tell us why you should be next. AbstractHosted by Al Martin, VP, IBM Expert Services Delivery, Making Data Simple provides the latest thinking on big data, A.I., and the implications for the enterprise from a range of experts.This week on Making Data Simple, we have Ahmed Elsamadisi. Ahmed started his career at Cornell’s Autonomous Systems Laboratory focusing on human-robot interaction and Bayesian data fusion as well as building algorithms for autonomous cars. He then joined Raytheon to develop tactical AI algorithms for missile defense, four of which are still in use today by the US Military. Eventually he moved on to Raytheon’s Advanced Technology division to focus on building human exoskeletons--like the Iron Man suit but made of rubber because it’s way more energy efficient and not a fictional concept ignoring proper scientific practices-- and algorithms for adaptive decision making.In 2015 Ahmed joined We Work, and over the next two years Ahmed built We Work’s standard data infrastructure and grew its data team from one to forty Data Engineers and Data Analysts.After implementing a single time series table data model at We Work and seeing the immediate results, Ahmed wanted to figure out a way to bring this new found knowledge to the world. Ahmed founded Narrator to allow startups to leverage this new approach, ask questions, understand customer behavior, and analyze data across all their systems from a simple Universal Data Model. Show Notes3:26 – Tell us about algorithms for autonomous cars6:26 – Anything you can say around missile defense?8:58 – Tell us about human exoskeletons13:18 – What kind of data were you using to make decisions around the Iron Man suit?16:02 – What did you learn at We Work?25:00 – How we answer a question in the world of Narrator32:24 – Does Narrator sit between the application and the database?33:28 – Walk us through a Use CaseWebsite: Narrator AI.comBooks: The Power of BadNever Split The DifferenceAhmed Elsamadisi - LinkedIn  Connect with the TeamProducer Kate Brown - LinkedIn.
