My Career Changing Project
It was the time of the hackathon month (October) when I was given an opportunity to work on a project that was going to be used in industry and has to be delivered asap. After grabbing the opportunity, I started to work on the project with a partner.
The project was to create an autonomous process to show the advertisement on programmatic DOOH (Digital out of home) screens based on real-time traffic noise and the density of the vehicles on the road around the screens.
For the automation, we choose Apache NIFI, and java and javascript as our scripting language. To get the details of the traffic we used Here maps Apis (their documentations were a great help as they were easy to understand and implement).
It required to play with multiple API and systems to make it happen in realtime. It was great learning to monitor and make real-time products as a student. After the campaign start for advertising, it went smoothly for the next 7 days but on the 8th day it crashed and was not giving the proper result, it was the first time I learned to face the pressure of the real-time product developers when a bug pops in. So, we had to fix the threshold value for the traffic so to show the ads at the perfect time.
As this project came to be a great success and the company got a great revenue due to this campaign. this made a great impact on my life as it boosts my confidence to learn to make more products that make a great impact on life.
