Joe Andolina is a Director of Technical Marketing here at Salesforce. Today, I’m sitting down to talk with him about his long history of doing some pretty crazy experiments with the Internet of Things. We also discuss how some of that has dealt back into Work.com and the COVID-19 pandemic. 

 

Joe even created his own degree in visual computer science to blend the real world with the digital world. Tune in to hear all about his ingenuity and what he’s doing today with IoT and Work.com.

 

Show Highlights:

• Joe’s earliest experiences with computers.
• What his 11 years at Adobe were like.
• How he started getting interested in the hardware side of things.
• The swarm of wireless devices he built that use mesh networking for audience interactivity.
• Some of the hardware that you can use to set up something like a fever-testing kiosk.
• How flow streamlines things to the point of moving away from programmatic code and towards visual code.
• What Density.io is and how it can help with tracking occupancy.
• How Joe structured Salesforce data to be able to track occupancy.
• Tricks for tracking proximity.
• IoT hardware to pick up if you’re interested in trying that architecture out.
