Job position: JavaScript/HTML developer at Sense (Rotterdam)
Introduction
Smartphones are very popular. These personal devices keep getting more and more sensors. This gives unlimited possibilities to collect personal data. Besides phones and people, Sense collects data from a diversity of sources and combines and interprets this data in realtime to create personal context awareness. Users can also share their data with other users or applications. This gives the possibility to develop powerful community applications.
Sense maintains a library for Android and iOS devices which can work as standalone apps, or which can be embedded as part of another app. In this way other apps can use local sensor data and local pattern recognition. All this data can also be uploaded to the CommonSense platform.
CommonSense is our cloud platform in which data from all sources are collected and are being interpreted in realtime. The online availability of personal context awareness makes it possible for a whole new group of services and applications to be developed. These services and applications use the state information of a person in realtime. Most CommonSense functionalities are made by third party developers through our API. The goal is to build an ecosystem of applications and users to create as much value as possible from personal context awareness.
Examples of applications are: recognizing earthquakes from combined sensor data of thousands of phones; supporting people in changing their exercise pattern; offering an integrated environment for home monitoring of chronically ill people; providing realtime situational awareness for emergency services in crisis management.
To help us create an amazing user experience of our platform, we are looking for a:
