Analysis, Design and Implementation of Proof-of-Concept Prototypes and Applications to support Applied Innovation of Enterprises

As a Software Engineer in the New York City’s Capgemini Applied Innovation Exchange, I have worked on the development of prototypes and applications meant to facilitate the adoption of innovative products and services. The first focus has been the creation of an interactive dashboard for battery management in fleets of electric vehicles called Panasonic-Cy in which I have taken an active role from the application’s design to its development and data modeling. A proof-of-concept prototype for optical character recognition of tire stickers has then been built, aiming to infer the characteristics from tires in real-time by scanning stickers, and redirecting users to the corresponding web page. To foster opportunities and leverage the AIE ecosystem, a cross-platform application for the National Retail Federation, called Capgemini Expo Guide, has been developed, meant to provide a list of emerging startups for businesses, thanks to filtering criteria and relevance. Finally, a platform aimed to assess the readiness of Capgemini’s client to welcome and sustain innovation was made, allowing users to get insights into their organization’s innovation performances and relevant advice from the AIE team. The following document will present my work on these different projects, for which I have been the only developer, therefore building the products from scratch to production.
