About the team
The WWPS Customer Engineering team helps customers solve their most interesting business challenges by rapidly developing innovative prototypes using world-class and open-source technologies. There are a number of examples: We’ve helped customers by using image recognition to find missing persons, Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize ride shares, Generative AI (GenAI) to simulate the learning journey of students with different behavioral personas in a digital learning environment, and GenAI to predict the likelihood of different companies to work together based on synergies.
We are a team of problem-solvers and builders who work on customer problems that don’t have cookie-cutter solutions. We often don’t have the answers right away, and are expected to Dive Deep to figure out the best approach. The code we write provides immediate value for customers by showing how technology can solve their problems.
