S7 Bonus: The Algorithmic Construction Site: Engineering a Generative Scheduling Engine with René Morkos of ALICE Technologies

Apr 6, 2023 · Season 7 · 20 min

Figure out the best way to build your construction project

Rene Morkos is a builder. When he was younger, his Dad told him that he could study anything he wanted, as long as it wasn't Civil Engineering. So... that is exactly what he did. He has built amazing things all over the world, and also, obtained his PhD at Stanford. Outside of technology, he likes to alternate hobbies, and has currently settled into Mountaineering, after spending some time doing Kite Surfing.

Rene was in Afghanistan working on a project, trying to repair the runway that had been struck by RPG's. He was struck by how hard it was to find the optimal way to do a simple project. While he was studying his PhD, he also noticed that constructions sites were under utilized... so he and his team invented a simple algorithm that knew how to build.

This is the reaction story of Alice Technologies.
