Here are some of the best projects I've worked on...
Morgan has a unique talent to think outside the box and grasp concepts most find difficult. His knowledge of Google Cloud and aviation big data is excellent. He was always keen and willing to learn new technology with a very positive attitude toward work.
Director of Product Management
...the moment I see your name in a meeting, I sit back knowing you will come up with solutions that of best interests of us, it's incredible Morgan what you have contributed towards this project.
Senior Product Owner
Morgan exemplifies the core tenants of DevOps and more... be it his detail oriented delivery, thirst for knowledge, excellent teaching ability, architecture and design capabilities, or the superb documentation he produces... I'd gladly work with him any time, on any project and would highly recommend him to anyone.
DevOps Engineer
I've built data pipelines across 3 continents at petabyte scales, for over 15 years. But the data doesn't matter if we don't solve the human problems first - an AI solution that nobody uses is worthless.
Not any time soon. At least not in the way that you've got imagined thanks to the Terminator movies. Sure somebody with a DARPA grant is always going to strap a knife/gun/flamethrower on the side of a robot - but just like in Dr.Who - right now, that robot will struggle to even get out of the room, let alone up some stairs.
A year ago, the whole world was convinced that AI was going to steal their job. Now, the reality is that most people are thinking 'I wish this POC at work would go a bit faster to scan these PDFs'.
Humans are complicated. If we invented driving today - there's NO WAY IN HELL we'd let humans do it. They get distracted. They text their friends. They drink. They make mistakes. But the reality is, all of our streets, cities (and even legal systems) have been built around these limitations. It would be surprisingly easy to build self-driving cars if there were no humans on the road. But today no one wants to take liability. If a self-driving company kills someone, who's responsible? The manufacturer? The insurance company? The software developer?
This post is the summation of months of debugging and optimizing ML and AI workflows on Google Cloud DataProc clusters using Cloud Composer / Apache Airflow for orchestration.
