Optimizing Waterflows Using Machine Learning and IoT

Optimizing Waterflows Using Machine Learning and IoT

Author: Amazon Web Services September 4, 2020 Duration: 26:05
From large metropolises like Singapore to smaller villages in places like Thailand, water is a constant need that flows through any community. And with climate change accelerating, the demand to properly manage this vital utility has never been higher. SpaceAge Labs, and CEO Deepak Pitta, are on a mission to help solve this growing problem by applying that latest in machine learning and IoT sensors, bringing an antiquated industry into the modern age.

Building a company is a messy, exhilarating, and deeply personal journey. The AWS Startup Podcast, from Amazon Web Services, moves beyond theory to capture the real voices from the trenches. Each conversation is a direct line to founders who have navigated the specific challenges of scaling a business, offering an unfiltered look at what actually worked when the pressure was on. You'll hear them break down the practical technology choices and operational tools that powered their growth, but also the less-discussed human elements-the leadership decisions that shaped their culture and the hard-won lessons that never make it into a business plan. This podcast digs into the gritty details of creation, from initial architecture to managing a team through uncertainty. And because a founder's life isn't all pitch decks and code, these discussions often touch on something equally precious: how these dedicated builders actually step away to recharge during their scarce moments of downtime. It’s a collection of stories for anyone curious about the tangible mechanics and the personal resilience behind today's most interesting companies.
