Santa Barbara Tech Talk Series

​Join us for an exciting double-feature Tech Talk on December 18th featuring two practitioners tackling real-world AI challenges.

​Louis Tremblay, Director of Data & AI at Resideo, will pull back the curtain on what AI actually looks like when you're building for millions of homes. Learn why the AI powering thermostats, leak detectors, and smart cameras is less about LLMs and more about embedded models, signal processing, and system design—and why enterprise AI engineering is fundamentally different from startup AI.

​Then, Anand Ramakrishnan, Lead Computer Vision Scientist at Norfolk Southern, will share how his team is using computer vision to inspect and maintain railway infrastructure. Whether you're curious about production AI systems or want to hear about CV applications in critical infrastructure, come grab some food and drinks and hear what these two practitioners have learned.

​Doors open at 6:00 PM with food and drinks, talks begin at 6:30 PM at 419 State Street.
