Speaker: Jeff Williams
I spend most of my time on github.com/0x6a77 or github.com/addrobots. I also write about a super-fast and efficient way to develop hardware: https://www.zerodiff.org and https://tinyletter.com/zerodiff,
I'm a computer scientist by education and have spent most of my career in manufacturing and logistics. My primary interest recently is ultra-low cost robotics connected to the cloud by low-power microwave radios. I once designed a radio that is about the size of a postage stamp, covers 500K sqft of warehouse space and uses the same power as a bright LED. In my career I've worked on large projects with Lego, L'Oreal, Wal-Mart, HP, Clorox, Coca-Cola, Kroger, Albertsons, Tyson Foods, Petco, Gymboree and Walgreens. I've worked with big logistics companies like APL, Sealand, Matson, P&O Ports, Maersk and DPA World Ports.
Being restless, I continue to rack up patents and patent applications.
