Event Description
1 in 3 shoes bought online are returned, and when Shoefitr started as an AlphaLab company in 2010, they set out to fix that using 3D scanners.
Since then, the company has grown:
- From no traffic to an application that is served 30 times / second, all day, every day
- From scanning shoes in a South Side apartment to managing a distributed 24/7 scanning process at 5 warehouses in 3 countries.
- From a founding team of 3 to a team of 20.
Co-founder and CTO Breck Fresen will discuss the engineering challenges facing Shoefitr and lessons learned about everything from algorithm development to managing AWS infrastructure.
Please join us on Thursday, March 13th. RSVP as space is limited.
