Cognitive Cooking Foodtruck Voting App

Vote for your Favorite AI Food

Watson makes the recipes, the truck shows the menu, you cast your vote, the chefs at ICE cook it for the masses. I programmed the app and screens that tie it all together.

The truck was always on the move, and part of my job was to follow it and make sure things were running smoothly - menus showing up on screen, votes being cast accurately.

Long lines at SXSW for IBM's AI-inspired recipes

Long lines for AI Food

We had a non-stop line at SXSW for AI-inspired recipes. I'm somewhere behind that truck in a mud pit monitoring votes and giving the chefs an idea of what to prepare for.

Served on ICE

Chefs from the Institute of Culinary Education were responsible for making delicious food from the recipes.
