🍂 Autumn is Coming: September Recap - The Developer Edition 🧑💻
Heyhey everyone,
Already curled up on the couch with your laptop 💻, sipping hot chocolate ☕ while diving into code reviews, writing some lines of code, or prepping for the next sprint? Whether you're taking a break or just need something to read while enjoying your drink 🍂, here's a quick recap of our September Community Events:
Pre-EXCITE Hackathon
We kicked off the post-holiday season with an exciting pre-Excite Hackathon at our Berlin office!
23 talented tech enthusiasts, divided into 6 teams, came together to prototype innovative solutions aimed at enhancing the customer journey through cutting-edge technology, AI, and data.
Key Facts:
- 📅 11th September 2024
- 🏢 Spryker Office, Berlin
- 🎯 Theme: Smart Retail – Redefining Customer Journeys with Data & AI
- 👥 6 Teams
🏆 The Winner:
Team "AI Pathfinders" (including @mjung @dennis_bluemer @salman.raza @karan.popat_acn) won over the jury with their multilingual semantic search solution, ensuring highly accurate matches across languages. Their well-structured approach and the precision of their results made a significant impact on the judges.
🥈 The Runner-Up:
Team “Oskar Vision Pro” (including @p.miletic @merlin.schmidt @p.lammers @h.hornschuh) impressed the judges by merging the Spryker shopping experience with Apple Vision Pro. They seamlessly integrated 3D visual configuration and augmented reality, all connected to Spryker’s headless transactional platform, delivering a futuristic shopping experience.

Spryker and Siemens Healthineers Hackathon in Kosovice, Slovakia
We wrapped up September with an exciting hackathon at our customer Siemens Healthineers! 🎉 Two teams collaborated to enhance the Back Office UI/UX by improving the GUI Tables.
Team “VALALIKY” implemented a proof of concept (POC) to display significantly improved tables from the Merchant Portal in the Back Office, complete with out-of-the-box column filtering.
Team “FINDING NEMO” focused on advancing the existing GUI Tables by adding an additional search field as a POC, allowing for a more sophisticated search capability in future iterations. 🔍

Now that you're caught up on all the events from September, it’s probably time to dive back into your projects! 😄💻 A post about the September Digital User Group, including the recordings, will follow once the after-production is complete.
