Advising/ mentoring One scream’s Technology Leadership on supporting architecture & infrastructure at scale, to build a performant product that incorporates digital signal processing, machine learning and mobile development.One Scream is a new handsfree personal safety app for women and teenage girls that can stay with the user wherever she goes. If the user panic screams (a louder, more complex sound than any other), the app detects it, even when the phone’s across the room or buried at the bottom of her bag. Once a panic scream is detected, the phone vibrates and plays back a loud siren before an alert is triggered. The user has 20 seconds to cancel it if she is safe. One Scream then sends a message with her name and location to whoever she chose for support. The phone line stays open so she can speak hands-free.
