Description
This creative project details 5 engineers who made contributions to the ways that we live life today, yet have received little to no recognition for their efforts. The 5 engineers presented are Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, George Stephenson, Charles Babbage, David Alter, and Nikola Tesla. Each engineer is detailed via a portrait and a biography that covers a little bit of their life and the contributions that they made.

Description
Our Idea: As a team of engineers, two in the engineering field and one in computer
science and software development, we wanted to find a way to put these skills to use in our
company. As we did not have a revolutionary idea to build our own product, we wanted to base
our company on the assumption that people have great ideas and lack the ability to execute on
these ideas. Our mission is to enable these people and companies to make their ideas a reality,
and allow them to go to market with a clean and user friendly product. We are using our skills
and experience in hardware and device prototyping and testing, as well as software design and
development to make this happen.
Implementation: To this point, we have been working with a client building a human
diagnostic and enhancement AI device. We have been consulting on mostly the design and
creation of their first proof of concept, working on hardware and sensor interaction as well as
developing the software allowing their platform to come to life. We have been working closely
with the leaders of the company, who have the ideas and business knowledge, while we focus on
the technology side. As for the scalability and market potential of our business, we believe that
the potential market is not the limiting factor. Instead, the limiting factor to the growth of our
business is the time we have to devote. We are currently only working with one client, and not
looking to expand into new clients. We believe this would require the addition of new team
members, but instead we are happy with the progress we are making at the moment. We believe
we are not only building equity in business we believe in, but also building a product that could
help the safety and wellness of our users.
