WattCarbon Podcast Episode 4
We might be getting the hang of this podcasting thing. Or not, you be the judge. But this week we welcomed Neil Williams into the recording studio for a candid conversation about failed astronaut dreams, crossword puzzle addictions, and parental influences.
Neil joined WattCarbon after spending a decade at Reddit where he learned just about every imaginable trick required to scale a software platform hosting tens of millions of simultaneous conversations. Now he does things like automating a data pipeline for ingesting and storing the hourly carbon emissions for every grid in the United States on a nightly basis.
Somehow we managed to refrain from making any AMA jokes the entire time we interviewed Neil, but I hope you’ll enjoy learning a bit more about him as much as we did.
