New parents find it difficult to find all the baby products they need in one place for their first-born baby because there is no trusted and personalized information available. Baby Essentials is a web service for new parents that (1) provides personalized baby product recommendations to them backed by other trusted parents, (2) removes the overabundance and repetitive information available on the internet, and (3) compares the best buying options.
Decades of automation, from drive-through to ATMs, online banking, customer mobile apps, and AI, demonstrate the shift to self-service but there is a risk in distancing banks from the customer. A new generation expects the convenience of digital while seeking out coaching, guidance, and mission control.
How can we participate in the more human side of relationship banking? How do we leverage our digital tools, physical space, and knowledge to build client relationship?
During my time at Samsung, my team built the world’s 1st commercial 5G home router to win contract with No.1 US teleco operator. I worked with cross-functional teams across hardware, software, sales, and design to define the specifications and features. My focus was primarily on market research, usability testing, prototyping, and iterative development.
Following the model of earlier studies of desktop software, we perform a survey of thread-level parallelism in common mobile applications. In particular, we study the Android and iOS platforms, through a representative sample of 3rd-party software in their respective app stores. Ultimately, we conclude that multiple cores may not be necessary for the majority of mobile experiences, observing that iOS apps tend to have slightly greater average parallelism, with slightly lower variance, than Android apps.
