"Hey Alexa, can you give me an inside scoop on Amazon's Santa Barbara office?..." Last Friday, Blockchain @ UCSB and Coders SB were warmly welcomed to explore the innovative world inside Amazon Alexa's office in downtown Santa Barbara. A huge thank you to Chris Saxton for orchestrating this tour and hosting our group of over 20 eager students. This unique office, originally Graphiq Inc.—a beacon of data visualization and search technology—now stands as a testament to Amazon's ambitious drive to revolutionize technology. Witnessing this evolution from a nimble startup to a cornerstone of Amazon’s innovation empire was nothing short of inspiring. Special thanks to Ashley Antoon from UCSB Engineering for making this connection possible. Experiences like this are invaluable for students exploring career paths.
