Noah Lucas on Building Software-Defined Systems at Sift

Before joining Sift, Noah Lucas built data infrastructure for autonomous delivery robots, battlefield autonomy systems, and AI-native defense platforms at Postmates, Serve Robotics, Pendulum, and Anduril. Today, he's VP of Product at Sift. In his latest post, Noah reflects on fifteen years of building software-defined systems in the real world, why turning telemetry into decisions is becoming one of engineering's most important challenges, and why the next generation of physical AI will depend on better infrastructure to make it possible. It's also a reflection of the team we're building at Sift: people who have operated at the frontier and understand these challenges firsthand. Read Noah's story in the comments.
