Introduction
IBM Intelligent Operations Center is a product offering as part of the IBM Smarter Cities initiative. It’s main objective is to visualize near real-time geospatial data on a map, list and calendar to provide deep insights and perform historical
data analytics.
It’s applications are quite widespread and it is used across several industries such as city planning and management, sentiment analysis, emergency response and video analytics. Some notable customers include the Miami-Dade Police Department, New Jersey Turnpike and City of Chennai.
Summary
This was quite a large scale project and spanned several years. My role evolved from being a junior developer learning the ropes to being a senior developer and tech lead in a span of almost 5 years.
I owned several components within the application and was also responsible for product build, delivery, planning, scoping and coordination as the project as my role evolved. The right mix of hands-on technical work and leading, managing, demonstrating and supporting the project helped further solidify my career in software development and towards consulting.
Use Cases
As an operator, I want to be able to see hotspots of areas with the highest density of data items.
