We sat down with Christy Hopkins and Philip Heggelund, the CEO and CTO duo behind the company, to talk about how they’re untangling the mess of data integration in energy. From subsurface insights to cloud headaches, they’re rethinking how information flows across the industry. We got into the good stuff: cleaning up bad data, breaking down silos, and figuring out how to build real trust in data systems. Christy and Philip aren’t just building tools, they’re building a future where energy companies actually use their data instead of drowning in it.\nClick here to watch a video of this episode.\n\n00:00 - Intro\n01:23 - Christy’s International Experience\n03:22 - Recent Cloud Outages\n06:05 - On-Prem AI Servers\n10:59 - PandoScape Overview\n18:05 - PandoScape's Services\n20:50 - Unique Features of PandoScape\n23:20 - PandoScape’s Technology Stack\n25:00 - PandoScape’s Business Model\n26:40 - Target Market for PandoScape\n28:20 - Future Plans for PandoScape\n30:00 - PandoScape’s Funding History\n31:40 - Hiring Plans at PandoScape\n33:20 - PandoScape’s Culture and Values\n34:15 - Data Engineering vs Data Science\n36:10 - Google vs Bing Comparison\n40:10 - Impact of COVID-19\n45:58 - The AI Hype Cycle\n49:15 - Choosing the Right Tools\n51:00 - Importance of Quality Data\n52:32 - MCP Server Overview\n56:25 - gRPC Technology\n57:49 - MCP Server Functionality\n1:00:32 - The Magic Layer Concept\n1:06:08 - Memory of Things\n1:12:30 - Speed Round\n1:15:57 - Contacting the PandoScape Team\n1:16:40 - Making a Good Mimosa\n1:17:22 - Making a Good Margarita\n1:17:33 - How to Drink Tequila\nhttps://twitter.com/collide_io\nhttps://www.tiktok.com/@collide.io\nhttps://www.facebook.com/collide.io\nhttps://www.instagram.com/collide.io\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@collide_io\nhttps://bsky.app/profile/digitalwildcatters.bsky.social\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/collide-digital-wildcatters","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/KU-rritAkNfd5EDWr8dy4miPzznveey9CXz1zVQDRXc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZGMz/NDQxNzEwNTFjZDU3/NmQ4ZmI3ZDU1ZTQ2/Y2U4Yi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
