Indeed, being part of the movement through which technology is changing the world was what I expected from working at IBM. Nonetheless, I was hired to solve a specific problem: a challenge by a client that I would be assigned to. With that in mind, I knew I would probably not be working on the next revolutionary idea and that there would be some limitations and constrains regarding what I could do.
That’s where I was wrong! I feel like, as a part of Extreme Blue at IBM, I am indeed working on the next big thing. Me and my other three team mates (one industrial designer and two computer scientists) have no boundaries and are constantly encouraged to challenge the status quo and ask questions. And we are not the only ones: every other team at the Center for Advanced Studies seems to be developing something with the potential of becoming disruptive and changing the way we currently do things. This innovation spirit creates a very open, dynamic and fun environment, where we constantly exchange ideas and suggestions. The experience has been amusing and the learning curve steep.
I highly appreciate the opportunity and look forward to the future!
