Focus:IoT / Edge Computing / AI / AI Acceleration (for inferring ML models at the Edge) / IoT and concept Prototyping / Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality / Data / Computer VisionMy strength lies in the fact that I have visibility on (emerging) technology, I have a broad network, I can project how technology can be used within the business and determine and guide the steps that must be taken to test/pilot/implement it. I can build prototypes for making sure not a lot of time and money is wasted so a business can try if a technology fits before implementing it company wide.I also speak human and not only tech.These are stairs:....................You want to get here..................................___............................___|......................___|................___|..........___|...___ |You are at the start or some other place on these stairs* Where are you now exactly with regards to the prerequisites/maturity that you need?* What steps need to be taken?* What is required to be able to make those steps and get to your technology goal?A simple example:ML (Machine Learning) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) are popular buzzwords.Most businesses want to 'do' them. But what do they even mean? What do they encompass?You can say that you want to do prediction but if you don't have historic data there's nothing you can predict. 'Data' is then one of the steps you need to reach before you can go further on the steps.I help with that.
