This time we're looking at Himel Mondal (pictured above, far left), an engineering student from Canada. Himel caught our eye when he posted his coding project to Hackster. He mashed up a Raspberry Pi, Amazon Alexa, and Kairos Face Recognition. The results were, in a word, amazing -- checkout a video demo at the end of this article.

Face recognition is becoming increasingly important as the world becomes more interconnected, and our identities further digitize themselves away from passwords and PIN numbers. The latest advancements in technology have paved the way to answer one of its challenging problems: security.

Today, biometric sensors are not just available in dedicated security devices, but also in smartphones to secure the owner from data breaches. Most premium mobile devices on the market are now leveraging other biometric technologies, too.

We’ve been tackling buzz words in the tech industry recently. This is because there is a certain trend that occurs once a term is coined. Everyone uses it without fully getting it and that causes misinformation, confusion, and sometimes fake news. This time around we are looking at the term cognitive computing.

Ah another week, another buzz word. Will it ever end? Probably not but hey that’s okay, it just gives us more to discuss with you and we love our chats. IBM Watson is grandfathered in for cognitive computing, they basically pioneered it into what it is today. Yet, if you’re new to the tech scene you may be like huh? What’s cognitive computing and when did IBM get a Watson?

And as a bonus, we’re looking at our pick for the top 5 companies using cognitive computing today.
