Talk given at Full Stack Fest 2017: https://fullstackfest.com

IoT is too often discussed in the abstract. What does it really mean to build a second internet? What does it mean to create an internet out of distributed, sensing machines which talk to each other?

In this talk, I'll show you how I'm using connected devices and distributed sensor data on the energy grid to fight climate change.

The true full stack is every part of the internet– the client side, the server, the hardware. But we're used to seeing that internet via screens and human interfaces. Let me show you the internet of machines, and how coding for this second internet directly impacts the world.

Kelsey Breseman is fighting climate change with engineering as a founder of HC3.io. She is also an engineer and Steering Committee member of the Tessel Project —an open source organization whose aim is to empower web developers to enter the connected-devices space. Previously, Kelsey has been involved in developing consumer drones, research on sleep and temperature, implantable vision devices, and devices for lung cancer diagnosis. She has a degree in neural engineering, and is interested in prosthetics, speculative fiction, circus arts, and really long walks.
