I was asked to speak at an analytics customer event in London today on the story behind the WiFi kettle and [my 11hr tea-making marathon](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/12/english-man-spends-11-hours-trying-to-make-cup-of-tea-with-wi-fi-kettle), and the wider story around of my work with IoT and wearable device data along with Oracle Big Data, Cloudera Hadoop and open-source Python tools to help me lead a healthier lifestyle and add smarts and intelligence to the devices in my home. The slides are here:

If there’s interest I’ll post an update soon on how I hardened the IoT and wearable device data feeds by using [StreamSets](https://streamsets.com/) and Kafka to load data directly into Impala and [Kudu](http://kudu.apache.org/), as I hint at in the final slides in the deck, with [AirB&B’s open source-donated Caravel BI tool](https://github.com/airbnb/caravel) as a front-end reporting in real-time on my key health and smart home metrics.
