Join this live session with Magnus Mårtensson ft. Anjuli Jhakry for the next episode of The Cloud Show with Magnus Mårtensson on July 23, at 01:05 PM (EST).
The show explores cloud leadership and addresses the key questions surrounding cloud projects. Indeed, many aspects of a company's success in the cloud are related to technology. However, there are many additional matters, adjacent to technology, that we also need to tend to regarding business strategy, human resources, organizational change, planning for a technical cloud approach, and many more questions. These conversations are crucial for maintaining a healthy cloud and for implementing a swift and accurate cloud approach.

and and how did you come up with that
2:13
and and how did you come up with that idea?
2:15
idea?
2:15
idea? Well, uh, I'm building an app, uh, an
2:17
Well, uh, I'm building an app, uh, an
2:17
Well, uh, I'm building an app, uh, an app for people with food allergies and
2:19
app for people with food allergies and
2:19
app for people with food allergies and food intolerances, uh, now targeted, uh,
2:22
food intolerances, uh, now targeted, uh,
2:22
food intolerances, uh, now targeted, uh, for the Netherlands at first. Um, and
2:25
for the Netherlands at first. Um, and
2:25
for the Netherlands at first. Um, and it's an app where you can find products
2:26
it's an app where you can find products
2:26
it's an app where you can find products and you can find, um, if it contains
2:29
and you can find, um, if it contains
2:29
and you can find, um, if it contains allergens that you cannot eat. Um, or
2:32
allergens that you cannot eat. Um, or
2:32
allergens that you cannot eat. Um, or you can just like give an evaluation if
2:34
you can just like give an evaluation if
2:34
you can just like give an evaluation if you can or cannot cannot eat it. Um, you
2:36
you can or cannot cannot eat it. Um, you
2:36
you can or cannot cannot eat it. Um, you can also add there's also diary where
2:39
can also add there's also diary where
2:39
can also add there's also diary where you can enter what you have eaten and
2:41
you can enter what you have eaten and
2:41
you can enter what you have eaten and then it can find patterns. For example,
2:43
then it can find patterns. For example,
2:43
then it can find patterns. For example, there are a lot of people who are
2:45
there are a lot of people who are
2:45
there are a lot of people who are feeling sick after they've eaten a lot
2:47
feeling sick after they've eaten a lot
2:48
feeling sick after they've eaten a lot of things all day and they don't know
2:49
of things all day and they don't know
2:49
of things all day and they don't know what it is. Um, you can then enter what
2:52
what it is. Um, you can then enter what
2:52
what it is. Um, you can then enter what you've eaten for a while and then it
2:54
you've eaten for a while and then it
2:54
you've eaten for a while and then it will try to guess what you could
2:57
will try to guess what you could
2:57
will try to guess what you could possibly be sick uh getting sick of. So,
3:00
possibly be sick uh getting sick of. So,
3:00
possibly be sick uh getting sick of. So, um yeah, that's what I um that's what
3:03
um yeah, that's what I um that's what
3:03
um yeah, that's what I um that's what that's what I'm building. Um, and I
3:06
that's what I'm building. Um, and I
3:06
that's what I'm building. Um, and I started with it because uh, well, I used
3:09
started with it because uh, well, I used
3:09
started with it because uh, well, I used to be able to eat everything that I
3:10
to be able to eat everything that I
3:10
to be able to eat everything that I wanted to eat always until I was 19. And
3:13
wanted to eat always until I was 19. And
3:13
wanted to eat always until I was 19. And then, uh, I started to get really,
3:15
then, uh, I started to get really,
3:15
then, uh, I started to get really, really sick. And after months of going
3:19
really sick. And after months of going
3:19
really sick. And after months of going to the hospital and doing tests, uh,
3:21
to the hospital and doing tests, uh,
3:21
to the hospital and doing tests, uh, they found out that I have two food
3:23
they found out that I have two food
3:23
they found out that I have two food intolerances, who have lactose and
3:26
intolerances, who have lactose and
3:26
intolerances, who have lactose and fructose intolerance. And lactose is
3:28
fructose intolerance. And lactose is
3:28
fructose intolerance. And lactose is everything that contains milk basically.
3:30
everything that contains milk basically.
3:30
everything that contains milk basically. And fructose is all things with
3:34
And fructose is all things with
3:34
And fructose is all things with vegetables and fruits and yeah,
3:37
vegetables and fruits and yeah,
3:37
vegetables and fruits and yeah, everything that contains a high doses of
3:39
everything that contains a high doses of
3:39
everything that contains a high doses of natural sugars basically.
3:41
natural sugars basically.
3:41
natural sugars basically. >> So that that suddenly gave me like an
3:43
>> So that that suddenly gave me like an
3:43
>> So that that suddenly gave me like an enormous list of things I couldn't eat.
3:45
enormous list of things I couldn't eat.

3:47
Um, and if you're not used to it, it's
3:47
Um, and if you're not used to it, it's kind of hard and I couldn't find an app
3:50
kind of hard and I couldn't find an app
3:50
kind of hard and I couldn't find an app that suit Yeah. that suited my needs in
3:53
that suit Yeah. that suited my needs in

getting started with it. So >> um startup you like all of a sudden I'm
4:42
>> um startup you like all of a sudden I'm
4:42
>> um startup you like all of a sudden I'm going to build an app and then all of
4:44
going to build an app and then all of
4:44
going to build an app and then all of then you figured out like okay I'm going
4:46
then you figured out like okay I'm going
4:46
then you figured out like okay I'm going to turn this into a startup. How did
4:48
to turn this into a startup. How did
4:48
to turn this into a startup. How did that happen?
4:49
that happen?
4:49
that happen? >> Yeah. Well, at first I was kind of
4:51
>> Yeah. Well, at first I was kind of
4:51
>> Yeah. Well, at first I was kind of playing around with the idea because
4:52
playing around with the idea because
4:52
playing around with the idea because when I uh got sick, it was before I
4:55
when I uh got sick, it was before I
4:55
when I uh got sick, it was before I started uh computer science. So, I had
4:58
started uh computer science. So, I had
4:58
started uh computer science. So, I had to take two in between years um before I
5:01
to take two in between years um before I
5:01
to take two in between years um before I could actually start with with computer
5:02
could actually start with with computer
5:02
could actually start with with computer science. And then well, I had to do
5:04
science. And then well, I had to do
5:04
science. And then well, I had to do computer science before I knew how to
5:06
computer science before I knew how to
5:06
computer science before I knew how to learn to make apps. Um
5:09
learn to make apps. Um
5:09
learn to make apps. Um >> and then uh besides studying, I also
5:12
>> and then uh besides studying, I also
5:12
>> and then uh besides studying, I also built apps for other people as like
5:15
built apps for other people as like
5:15
built apps for other people as like part-time job. Um so then I kind of got
5:18
part-time job. Um so then I kind of got
5:18
part-time job. Um so then I kind of got the hang of it of all the things that
5:19
the hang of it of all the things that
5:19
the hang of it of all the things that are
5:20
are
5:20
are >> necessary to know to build an app for
5:22
>> necessary to know to build an app for
5:22
>> necessary to know to build an app for the real world.
5:24
the real world.
5:24
the real world. >> Um and also with school project I I
5:27
>> Um and also with school project I I
5:27
>> Um and also with school project I I tried different ideas and at the last
5:29
tried different ideas and at the last
5:29
tried different ideas and at the last year of my study I had a course where I
5:31
year of my study I had a course where I
5:31
year of my study I had a course where I could completely build the app with
5:33
could completely build the app with
5:33
could completely build the app with support from uh teachers and um where I
5:38
support from uh teachers and um where I
5:38
support from uh teachers and um where I also had to validate my ideas. So, I had
5:42
also had to validate my ideas. So, I had
5:42
also had to validate my ideas. So, I had multiple groups of people uh with
5:43
multiple groups of people uh with
5:44
multiple groups of people uh with allergies with intolerances that I could
5:46
allergies with intolerances that I could
5:46
allergies with intolerances that I could ask things about my app, if they would
5:48
ask things about my app, if they would
5:48
ask things about my app, if they would like it, if they wouldn't, and uh if
5:50
like it, if they wouldn't, and uh if
5:50
like it, if they wouldn't, and uh if they were were willing to pay for it, uh
5:53
they were were willing to pay for it, uh
5:53
they were were willing to pay for it, uh things like that. And everybody was so
5:56
things like that. And everybody was so
5:56
things like that. And everybody was so um enthusiastic about it
5:59
um enthusiastic about it
5:59
um enthusiastic about it >> that that give me the incentive of,
6:02
>> that that give me the incentive of,
6:02
>> that that give me the incentive of, okay, maybe I should really make this a
6:04
okay, maybe I should really make this a
6:04
okay, maybe I should really make this a product and build something professional
6:06
product and build something professional
6:06
product and build something professional out of it. Because yeah, at first I was
6:08
out of it. Because yeah, at first I was
6:08
out of it. Because yeah, at first I was just building it for myself, but now I'm
6:11

I'm not source of truth. >> So can people who are using the app
6:39
>> So can people who are using the app
6:40
>> So can people who are using the app register things then? I mean if they
6:42
register things then? I mean if they
6:42
register things then? I mean if they find something or
6:43
find something or
6:43
find something or >> Yeah. Yeah. They can um well they can
6:45
>> Yeah. Yeah. They can um well they can
6:45
>> Yeah. Yeah. They can um well they can find it and if it's not there they can
6:47
find it and if it's not there they can
6:47
find it and if it's not there they can ask for it and then I can just find it
6:49
ask for it and then I can just find it
6:49
ask for it and then I can just find it and put it in my database but they they
6:51
and put it in my database but they they
6:52
and put it in my database but they they can also like uh put a custom
6:54
can also like uh put a custom
6:54
can also like uh put a custom evaluation. So
6:56
evaluation. So
6:56
evaluation. So >> um of course the app is basing all all
6:59

the evaluations on what you can and

the evaluations on what you can and cannot eat. But for example with lactose
7:03
cannot eat. But for example with lactose
7:03
cannot eat. But for example with lactose intolerance um every person that has
7:06
intolerance um every person that has
7:06
intolerance um every person that has lactose intolerance we responds
7:07
lactose intolerance we responds
7:07
lactose intolerance we responds differently to each product. So I know
7:09
differently to each product. So I know
7:09
differently to each product. So I know people who cannot eat any cheese at all
7:11
people who cannot eat any cheese at all
7:11
people who cannot eat any cheese at all but I can eat some kinds of cheese. So
7:14
but I can eat some kinds of cheese. So

but I can eat some kinds of cheese. So you in my app you have like this freedom
