The biggest change happens when everyone makes an impact

' When this project was brought to us, our job was to fix an app that wasn’t working correctly. The deeper we dug, the more problems we found. We had seven weeks to make it work. When you’re on a mission in the harsh environment of the North Pole, app testing is a low priority. The ice is melting. Everything is moving. There’s no time to do normal testing or handle the whole task in an “agile way". It was an opportunity of a lifetime.

' This was one of the coolest projects I’ve worked on so far. Siima Solution GmbH wanted to create an additional safety net for senior citizens living independently. It was a challenge to automate the recognition of normal and abnormal energy usage patterns with the help of machine learning. There was no default solution for something like this – and that’s exactly what I liked. We were forced to think outside the box to create something that would serve people’s daily lives. Every part of this process was a learning experience.

' This project encapsulates what I enjoy most about working at Zühlke: Creating something together that has value for society. In this project, for example, I led the mechanical design– to integrate new smart electronic components into existing beacons of leading manufacturers. But throughout the process, I wasn’t working alone. I worked with an electronic hardware expert and the design team. Bringing different views together helps us get ahead of barriers that a single member of a team might not be able to anticipate on their own.

' This was a project of a lifetime. We were tasked with building a medical device that was adaptable to policy changes, and that involved cross-border cooperation with experts from a variety of disciplines. We also had to do it safely, securely, and within only 12 weeks under challenging conditions.
