Online hotels booking platform, Hotels.ng, today announced it will be employing the winners of the HackJos challenge to build innovative software solutions for the company alongside its development team.
Mark Essien, CEO and founder of Hotels.ng said: “We are always on the lookout for technical talent. The winning team at #HackJos have shown that they have what it takes to survive in an environment that demands the very best from you”. He also indicated that this is the first of many more Hotels.ng plans to encourage software developers in the country.”
At the challenge, the eventual winner, Team Crystal, developed a mobile based GSM-based home automation system. Nnamdi Ibe, Emmanuel Okorie and Bebeyi Grace Abiodun created this system that uses a mobile device from anywhere in the world to control electrical appliances in the home or office. This application features sensors that detect temperature, light intensity and motion changes in the environment and relays real-time feedback on the state of the appliances to an interface on a mobile phone.
The winning team members are Computer Science undergraduate students of the University of Jos, Plateau State.
