This episode features an interview with Jonathan Beri, Founder & CEO of Golioth, a commercial IoT development platform built for scale. Previously, Jonathan was a Product Manager at Particle, Google/Nest, Magneto, and Myspace where he spent his time building IoT solutions.
In this episode, Sam sits down with Jonathan to discuss the concept of digital twins, the future of IoT databases, and how to build a real holodeck.

“I think about IoT when I started at Nest, we had some of the best engineers I've ever worked with. Starting from first principles, defining networking protocols, and introducing new specifications that became parts of the fabric of the internet. And fast forward 10 years later, a lot of that exists now as building blocks. Someone who's not a PhD with a lifetime and achievement award from the ITF can go actually design systems that are highly productive, integrated, and enabling. And that's where I get excited. And the through line I think is enabling teams of developers to really create more with their own bare hands. And the technology around it, that is that enabler.” – Jonathan Beri
