Heiki Riesenkampf is from a tiny country called Estonia, later studying computer science in London and doing his post grad in Zurich. He has been into machine learning since before all of the hype it has now. Outside of technology, he dreams of being a macroeconomist, and spends a ton of time reading about the topic. He lives in New York now, and frequently takes in the architecture, fashion and local art scene.Previously, Heiki spent time working for a VC, eventually building a product in a completely different domain. After personally realizing that he didn't want to be known for the product he was building, he pivoted towards building something that impacted him personally as an immigrant.This is the creation story of Commonbase.SponsorsP0 SecuritySpeakeasyQA WolfSnapTradeLinkshttps://commonbase.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/heikirOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com* Check out Vanta: https://vanta.com/CODESTORYSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

People ask me, why did I go into machine learning when I was able to do research in any part of computer science? I personally always felt that machine learning was the one part of computer science where if you showed someone what state of the art was able to do, an average person that didn't know how it worked, they would always feel like it's magical.
I feel like that magic that machine learning has, it's still there. That's the reason why I love that space so much. That's the reason why I've stayed in that space so much. That's the same principle that I apply to the products that I build. My name is Hege Riesenkamp, and I'm the founder and CEO of CommonBase.
This is CodeStory. A podcast bringing you interviews with tech visionaries. Who share what it takes to change an industry. Who built the teams that have their back. Keeping scalability top of mind. All that infrastructure was a pain. Yes, we've been fighting it as we grow. Total waste of time. The stories you don't read in the headlines. It's not an easy thing to achieve.
Took it off the shelf and dusted it off and tried to begin. To ride the ups and downs of the startup life. You need to really want it. It's not just about technology. All this and more on Code Story. I'm your host, Noah Labhart. And today, Hauheiki ReasonConf has made a way for you to talk to your customers by translating your speech to their language. This episode is sponsored by Speakeasy.
