What an amazing experience!!!
This week I'm in the .csbc and in the last two days I was at the SEMISH Hackathon. This hackathon was about solutions in IOT for a better relationship between the humanity and the earth.
Ok, I really love Arduino and electronic, but I'm not the best one doing these. In fact, we didn't use Arduino for our hardware solution k*k. Staying in this hackathon with people who know these things was one of the best learning experiences of my entire life.
More than just a learning experience, it was a test of all my knowledge about software development, clouds, management, teamwork and, the most importants ones, adaptation and problem solve abilities. Coding a entire MVP solution in 36 hours take all my knowledge to the limit and makes me know, too much better, where are my weakest and strongest abilities.
About our solution. We showed a whole intelligent system of traffic lights. The system is controlled by a platform and all the processing is made in a cloud (that was my responsibility xD). We used C to programming the thing, node.js to the cloud and all the hardware was provided by the knot (from Cesar labs). We made a generic, but adaptable, algorithm, this way we can use the solution in the most different cities and situations.
There is a lot of others cool things about our solution and a lot of others cool solutions that were showed in the final presentation. Maybe another day I can talk more about it showing some data of how our solution wants to reduce the average temperature and pollution. For now, I just want to say that I really love that new experience.
Wait for more hackathons XD.
