Things have changed since the early days of e-commerce and your favorite companies are using sophisticated data intelligence technology to pinpoint your exact address and provide their best possible service. Many are doing this with a platform called Smarty.
Founded in 2011 as Smarty Streets, they are used by huge corporations like Microsoft, Netflix and even NASA to process “colossal amounts of location data at breakneck speed”, as explained on their website.
In season 3, episode 7, we are joined by Smarty’s founder, CEO and CTO, Jonathan Oliver.
Jonathan discusses how he began coding at age 8, his route into the industry and how the industry has evolved since the 1990s.
