CEO at Useful Sensors Inc.; Former Engineer at Google & Founder of Jetpac; Author & Expert on Big Data
Pete Warden is the CEO of Useful Sensors, a computer hardware manufacturing company dedicated to creating low-cost, easy-to-integrate hardware modules. Prior to Useful Sensors, Warden worked as an engineer at Google and was the founder of Jetpac. Jetpac, a unique data product that analyzed the pixel data of millions of photos, was acquired by Google in 2014 for its deep learning technology optimized to run on mobile and embedded devices. At Google, Warden was the Technical Lead of the TensorFlow Mobile team.
Warden earned a degree at the Institute of Science and Technology from the University of Manchester. He was a graphics engineer at Visual Sciences, a senior engineer at Apple, and the founder of Mailana, which allowed him to become the early evangelist of what became known as big data and data science. He was the CTO at MoveableCode, Inc., and the founder of OpenHeatMap, a popular free map visualization tool used by tens of thousands of non-technical users every year.
Warden is also an author who has been a frequent contributor to the Radar O'Reilly blog, writing on data, open-source tools, and privacy. Warden wrote two well-received books: "Public Data Sources" and "Big Data Glossary."
The keynotes by Warden discuss embracing the chaos of unstructured data because structured data is costly, restricted, and hard to access. Warden states that unstructured data can be of higher quality if searches are optimized to find the highest-quality information.
