" summary

IBM Emerging Technologies acts as a customer-facing research-to-product on-ramp that builds hardened Watson code from research then hands it to product teams after 14 months, runs quick POCs that became references (including work with MD Anderson on cancer), and measures everything. Work focuses on Hadoop then Spark for real-time analytics, with a ~100-person rapid team chasing problems three to five years ahead, balancing economics (20 minutes versus 20 seconds) and tooling like interactive notebooks — 70k on GitHub.
