The Team

One of the most important reason for this project going on so succesfully is of course our fantastic team. Our interdisciplinary team consists of five university studends with different backgrounds. We have the knowledge business, user interfaces, user experience and programming - everyone has an important role in this project, and also with helping each other. We would all like to describe our goals, responsbilities, and also tell something about ourselves for you to get know who are behind this project.

Responsbilities in this project:

An exciting phase before starting my studies was to win a full scholarship at Okan University for Electrical and Electronics Engineering program. To gain a wider experience in terms of international relations and multicultural environment, I joined the Erasmus Exchange program twice. I spent one semester in Opole Poland as a student which was followed by project engineering internship in Rheine, Germany. Thanks to these achivements and my above average GPA, I was awarded as a “high honour student” in my department. After graduation, I had 1 year of project management experience in the aviation industry. Currently, I am at the end of my master’s degree studies on Business and Technology Management at Tampere University of Technology.

After completing my studies I am looking forward to continuing my career in the Project Management field.

My responsibilities in this project include:
  • Business aspects
  • Knowledge of cars and parking with ParkMan and EasyPark
  • Creating public awareness of the project and the possibilities of Google Glass
  • Product testing
  • Training the end users
  • Stakeholder relationships
I study business in the School of Management in the University of Tampere. I’m an enthusiastic team worker and during my studies I’ve engaged in many activities related to the student organization Boomi ry. I’ve been a part of Boomi’s accounting team, corporate relations team and event organizing team. I have tutored international students from different countries.
 
Before I started my studies at the university, I studied in the entrepreneurship group in Ylöjärvi high school. In the group we had many different kind of projects, for example we started our own company and co-operated with other students from different countries. 
 
Besides teamwork and business, I’m also very interested in technology and especially new technologies, and that’s one reason why I’m very excited to be part of a Google Glass project. After this project I am looking for new opportunities related to business and technology.
 

UI & UX Designer

Responsbilities in this project:
  • Designing and evaluation of...
    • user interface
    • user experience
    • user interaction
  • End user interviews (focus point: usability issues)
  • Photographing for this blog and presentations
To get a change to design a UI and UX for the new and innovative technology is very inspirational. Google Glass can offer a totally new kind of user experience, and that is also setting interesting challenges to me and the team for designing also. I study Interactive Technology at the University of Tampere, and my the master's degree program is in User Experience: Design and Evolution. My minors are marketing and social psychology, so in designing user experience, I also have a consumer experience perspective.

I have several years of experience in sales work, and now - since this year - as a customer coordination at the Yrityspäivät (the largest networking and recruiting event for academic students in Finland). So - working between human, technology and the business is a natural choice for me.

In a future I am looking forward to work with user interfaces, user experience and the consumer experience field.
