Watch the video, click here. Show Highlights: Chris attended Georgia Tech and after graduation he moved to LA, where he worked at Shopzilla, a consumer product search engine. He has 13 years’ experience in vertical search engines both in Business Development and General Management roles. He’s been with Octopart in New York for eight years, of which he’s served as GM for the last three years. Octopart was started in 2007 by three Physicists in Grad School. Due to problems with manually finding electronic parts in thick catalogs; the idea of a search engine was born. All three dropped out of school and thanks to Y Combinator program, Octopart got off the ground. Today there are between 800 and 900,000 users on the site monthly.Octopart works with over 200 distributors who make it possible for the user to access the database for free. The database gives access not only to the parts but also availability, validating, finding CAD models, symbols, footprints, 3D and exploration of technical details of each component. Part shortages is currently a huge problem especially with ceramic capacitors and LCCs. Octopart has a similar parts feature on the part detail page. The search criteria are very smart which is very helpful for everyday decisions. Availability and approved vendors lists as well as backup distributors are also available. Feedback is very positive regarding signals of risk and particularly lifecycle status.End of life is a huge problem in applications such as aerospace and even on the repair side. Octopart offers authorized channels or sources where the manufacturer has formal relationships with distributors. Octopart will have the authorized components come up first in your search. Compliance documentation and government regulations: there are restrictions on hazardous substances or chemicals - all part of the ‘problem set’ of selecting parts which Octopart strives to address. Vision and strategy for Octopart: First aim is a user-friendly solution. Second aim is for Octopart to be the go-to source for any relevant data on electronic components. Another aspiration is transparent structured data (information on where parts come from, last update, etc.) is essential for the future of electronic design and manufacturing. Machine learning and automated part selection applications means much more opportunity in the future. Obstacles now: Unstructured data, no data standards. CAD Tools and API: Application Programming Interface means you can tap into the database irrespective of what design tool you're using. This interface is another goal of Octopart and one that is receiving attention. For programmatic access to our electronic part search capabilities and part database, go to: Octopart API How are Altium and Octopart connected? Octopart serves as the parts enterprise unit for Altium. As Altium brings digital continuity; Octopart strives to bridge the gap as a structured data piece. Octopart is for everyone, not only Altium Designer® users, but also the makers, students, professional engineers, sources and procurement folks etc. Links and Resources:OctopartOctopart API Search parts by technical specFree ECAD modelsSimilar Parts (alternate parts)Advertise with Octopart Join the Octopart newsletterCareers at Octopart   Trade In Your Outdated PCB Design Tool & Unlock 45% OFF Altium Designer today!

Your true calling is found where your passions and your gifts collide. It's a great feeling to know what God has called you to, but what happens during the period of time where it's not quite time to quit your day job? How can we reconcile this deep, spiritual knowledge with practical wisdom? Here to talk about calling, theology, passions, and ordinary acts of obedience are Chris Date.

When he's not designing software, Chris can be found studying for his Masters at seminary or spending time with his wife and four sons. Theology truly is his passion, and, Lord Willing, he is going to become a teacher and writer on the subject full-time. In the meantime, Chris is staying faithful to God by providing for his family with his software design job.    In today's episode, we get a little deep into some of the tougher topics of apologetics and the afterlife. What is so great about Chris is that he explains everything in a manner that is simple to understand. Above all else, he is bound by the authority of Scripture as God's Word, so you know what he is saying is sound.
