About this episode
Recently our Chief Technology Officer Mario and Lead Software Engineer Dan were joined by Tom Atkinson, Operational Crew and IT Team Lead at York Rescue Boat—an independent lifeboat service, established in 2014 after a series of tragic deaths in York's rivers. Operating 24/7, the team patrols the waterways at high-risk times, both by boat and on foot, engaging with vulnerable individuals and providing crucial rescue support. Tom explained how he uses the D4H API for online learning, automating user account setup, and managing digital competency records. Listen to this deep dive into how tech and data drive life-saving missions at York Rescue Boat.
