Hauwa Ibrahim Aminu is a 22-year-old tech enthusiast who holds a distinction from Middlesex University, Mauritius where she bagged a Master’s degree in Business Information and Systems Management. She had also previously graduated from Lancaster University with a first class degree in Computer Science.
The young lady is the creator of ArchiScope and JupiMart apps which according to her, were inspired by her passion to help people solve problems.
ArchiScope is an interactive app that helps structural engineers present a visual mini version of a structure so clients can visualise what the end product of a structure would look like while JupiMart helps buyers in their decision making process of what to buy thus reducing cases of returned goods. With the augmented reality feature on ArchiScope, the app is interactive is interactive hence communication is improved between architects and their clients.
Sharing the inspiring scenario that gave birth to the development of the apps, Hauwa says that one problem she consistently encountered during her initial research phase was that traditional architectural drawings rarely gave a good view as to how a completed project would look like, as such clients were never really able to visualize what the final product would look like.
This she says usually led to a situation where the client is left unsatisfied at the end of the day. This she says, is where ArchiScope comes in. With the app, both parties can have a fairly good idea of what the final product would look like as it creates a mini version of any proposed structure.
For JupiMart, one major motivating factor that inspired its creation was the desire to create something that gives buyers certainty and confidence regarding what they purchase online. She says she wanted to help customers in their decision making process on what to buy and reduce the cases of returned goods and generally increase buyer confidence when shopping online.
“If the customers always got exactly what they ordered, the rate of product returns will decline, which will be a win-win situation for all parties involved,” she says in an interview with Daily Trust.
She hopes to see either of the two projects go commercial soon eve as she says she has her eyes on becoming an entrepreneur after she must have gotten some years of experience once she finishes her national youth service.
