Breaking Down Optimization

“Given a finite set of choices, what is the best choice to make? That is the high level optimization goal.” - Eghonghon

In this episode of The Blue Couch Podcast, David sits down with Eghonghon-Aye Eigbe, the Engineering Team Lead at PowerLabs to explore:

  • What optimization really means and why it is essential.

  • How optimization models work and the art and science of it.

  • The famous adage, "All models are incorrect, but some are useful," and how this perspective shapes their approach to engineering challenges.

Whether you're a curious thinker, engineer, or a data enthusiast, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on what the basics of optimization are.
