    What is the biggest challenge in your role?

    The biggest challenge in my day-to-day work is the focus on building and maintaining a robust and reliable IoT Platform and supporting services, that aggregate and process telemetry data from thousands of IoT-sensors in real-time. As well as the data distribution to both internal and external services through an API, while letting the driver of the whole development process be the customer needs.

    In what way do you feel that your work makes a bigger impact?

    Besides building and maintaining a robust and reliable system for aggregating and distributing telemetry data from our IoT-sensors, our core value is to enable our customers to extract proper business intelligence that can support decision making or trigger an action based on the insights from the data delivered by our sensors.
