With the emergence of powerfully distributed computing environments and on-demand cloud infrastructure, computing today is increasingly becoming affordable, scalable, and accessible to just about anyone – anytime and anywhere on this planet. The cloud platform, now and in the future, should be able to scale up or down to match demanding workloads. This democratization of computing has profound implications to how we set about solving complex social issues that involve processing and analysis of vast amounts of data to derive actionable insights promptly. I plan to explore machine-learning algorithms alongside data analytics the potential driving force of these measurable changes. What governments and organizations need today to make a broader social impact is an intelligent cloud that enables efficient processing of vast volumes of data with rich visualization and analytics capabilities. Deriving actionable insights on this data will help them make informed interventions in areas of concern.
