I had heard so much about the AT&T Foundry – its where cool stuff is being done! What do you think the work in this building means to the future of AT&T and the IoT space?  It has been an awesome experience to be able to come in here and sit with all these amazing technologies and walk by a connected porta-potty every day, the Faraday cage, 3D printers, all these advanced technologies. I get to work and cohabitate with smart people, the people who are prototyping these things that will someday be the future of IoT. There is a possibility that the breakthrough application for IoT is being developed just 20 feet away from where I sit. It has been one of those things where you have to pinch yourself every morning and say “I’m actually going into this space to push products across the goal line for this company and be so close to all these great innovations” so what the building represents and what the Foundry represent is AT&T’s commitment to be a leader in IoT Innovations. We are not going to let someone else figure it out before we do. We are driven to be the ones that collaborate with our customers and say “If you have a problem, come on in, we can fix it and we will help you prototype it, we will help you build it and we will help you deploy and implement if need be.”
