The IBM Extreme Blue program aims at getting the top talent from the nation’s best Universities and then put them together in teams to solve an existing business problem for a real world client.During this time, I had the opportunity to project manage a Proof of Concept (PoC) mobile application platform development in an IoT context for a European Telecommunications giant from the ground up. The role involved implementing agile developmental methodologies, liaising with stakeholders and provide solutions to the client’s business problem both from a consulting and an implementation standpoint. For the period of the internship, I evaluated the client’s business opportunity and market presence, worked with developers to define the scope of application from scratch, created weekly progress presentations to clients. In closing, I was able to create and manage the build of a fully functional IoT Android mobile app PoC that will help the client completely disrupt the industry. It was highly appreciated by the board and sparked a conversation on how to convert this into a fully functional consumer-grade mobile application. Additionally, I put together a Business White Paper detailing all the features of the application, technologies used, implementation procedure, relevant short and long term strategic recommendations and their business implications for the client’s management.
