In this episode of Machine Minds, I sat down with Austin Spiegel, the CTO of SIFT. Austin shared his journey from working at companies like SpaceX and Riot Games to co-founding SIFT, a platform that simplifies data complexity for engineers working with hardware sensor data.

We discussed how his experiences at SpaceX and Riot Games influenced his approach to building teams and solving complex problems. Austin explained how SIFT is helping companies in aerospace and other industries by providing an observability platform tailored for hardware engineers, enabling faster and more reliable product development.

We also talked about the challenges of building a startup, hiring the right talent, and the importance of being product-oriented. Austin offered valuable insights into the future of hardware development and how tools like SIFT are accelerating innovation.

If you're interested in hardware engineering, data analytics, or the intersection of software and complex hardware systems, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge from someone who's been at the forefront of these industries.
