DevOpsDays Halifax 2025

Shrey Monka

I am a Master's student in Applied Computer Science at Dalhousie University and I love finding hidden patterns around me. I have always been near ocean throughout my life and hence I love utilizing my knowledge of various technologies to explore the unexplored portion of ocean and it's ecosystem.

From Coast to Cloud: Using Edge, AI and Cloud to know what’s inside the ocean
Shrey Monka

This talk explores how edge computing and cloud technologies revolutionize marine industry and research through two edge computing approaches: simple data transmission devices and intelligent edge processors. Showcasing how MLOps and DevOps brings intelligence and automation to the ocean’s edge by building pipelines from ocean to us, humans by applying containerization and ML pipelines to marine environments, we unlock new possibilities for understanding and exploring underwater ecosystems and life.

The marine industry is increasingly adopting edge solutions to overcome challenges faced by environmental condition during exploration. I will walk through a complete pipeline from data collection at underwater sensors, through edge processing for immediate insights or processing data on our end on the cloud for easy processing and to gather analytics through visualization. By connecting these technical dots, we can transform how we monitor ecosystem health, track marine life, and respond to any environmental changes.
