You develop solutions, together we develop your career

“This project seemed like a simple ApplePay and GooglePay integration task but it became much more complicated, intricate, and interesting. The specification was so unique, and all the information I needed was confidential. Also, you’re working with the biggest names in tech: Apple and Google. That's really cool. Especially when on the other side you’re helping one of the world's oldest banks deliver more for a loyal customer base they’ve had for years.”

Alan is based in Hong Kong and collaborated with the UK team to enable ApplePay and GooglePay functionality for our client’s end customers. Alan and the team needed to identify the problem, propose a roadmap and solution design, then complete the integration within six months. 

“The sheer level of complexity was mind blowing. First, this device needed to be robust. It's mounted outside in extreme conditions. Like, it could be on a mountain, it could be next to a river. If we didn’t get this solution right, during the winter it could cause a major train accident. But the solution couldn't be expensive or people might have an urge to steal it. It had to be a low-power device but also able to wake up quickly. Plus, it needed to be able to be remotely maintained, and therefore needed a remote testing solution, otherwise its value would become negligible. It was such an exciting challenge.”

Visnja helped KONUX deploy AI-based predictive maintenance to improve the reliability of rail infrastructure. Visnja and the team were tasked with developing the highly complex field data acquisition device. The project involved the use of agile methods to enable rapid time-to-market and high quality. It also required collaboration across interdisciplinary teams.

“There was so much to learn on this project. I already knew about computer vision but now I know how to apply it to a critical medical setup. It was really exciting to know that this wasn’t an offline application somewhere, but actually runs live during surgery. The collaboration and personal connections I made were also a highlight. The expert brainstorming that was going on was so inspiring but because of COVID-19, we were working remotely. When our team met in-person for the first time and saw the robot working in real-time, it was such an amazing moment.”

Silvan and the team supported AOT with a production-ready data platform, allowing them to build deep learning computer vision models. This involved machine learning, data engineering, software development and regulatory expertise. Silvan helped AOT from the first idea, right through to the production-ready data platform to empower and realise those initial ideas.

“Most of the tech stack was totally new for me and my knowledge of crypto was really basic. It was my first commercial project in React too, which was a huge challenge. It was like a playground for my ideas to dig into the crypto world by building an end-to-end solution. I learned so much about digital wallets, Web 3.0, Ethereum, Enzyme Protocol, and GraphQL. We were also working as one team across three different countries which was really exciting. I am so proud of the result.”

Ana helped Gorilla Funds develop a product definition and a clear business case – the basis for an MVP. From there, Ana helped develop the MVP through iteration, adding features such as direct investment of fiat currencies (e.g. euros) in crypto. At the same time, Zühlke supported Gorilla Funds in tightening up their pitch and in presenting the result to the Enzyme Council.

The result was a platform that provided fund managers with a simple, intuitive user interface.

“We were bringing together molecular analysis, gene-sequencing, cloud tech, and UX design but the product needed to make things simpler for the user. It can’t be intimidating. At the same time, the solution was so new it was likely going to create a new vertical for our client. I was so aware of the potential value for users and business, if we got the solution right.”
 

Chrys and the team helped Sequential Skin bring a world-first, science-backed diagnostic app to market that uses deep molecular analysis and next-generation gene-sequencing technology to understand the combined impact of an individual's genes and skin microbiome on their skin health.

Through collaborative workshops, Chrys and the team analysed critical aspects for success. And then by adopting UX methodologies, they identified growth opportunities and gaps for improvement. This included observational analysis to understand how consumers use the skin test kit, design audits to identify friction points based on users' interactions with the application, competitor analysis and more.

“Because of the way we welcome our clients into our ecosystem, you spend a lot of time working onsite with them. This project really reminded me of the need to carry the Zühlke culture with us, and form deep connections with our client stakeholders. We are solving a really human problem so it’s more than a simple migration project. There’s also a big human-benefit here. Our client helps 14 million motorists complete safer journeys. That really increases the pressure and the importance of doing things well. You’re so aware of the difference you can make.”

Ruth and Matthew are helping a major motoring institution migrate their business to a new technology platform. That involves working really closely with the internal teams to understand their needs and balancing that against the goals of the business. Ruth and Matthew need to combine a critical external view with empathy and connection to influence positive behaviours and change. This means assessing the ways of working that have been achieving short-term outcomes, but are stopping the business reaching their future goals.
