This prestigious award recognises and encourages the contribution of women to the STEM disciplines, helping to address the challenges of STEM Talent shortage in Ireland and champion a more inclusive future for the industry.
Award Recipients and Their Impressive Projects
This award was given to Zeynep Altintas and Lizel Sulaj for their highly impressive project ‘PulsePath’, and to Yana Koleva and Lakshita Dubey for their amazing project ‘Bridge: A Web-Based Platform Designed to Optimise Cloud Configurations and Migrations.’
Fidelity Ireland Supports Innovation with ‘PulsePath’
‘PulsePath’ is a web application designed to enhance crowd safety and optimise resource management at medium to large-scale open-air festivals. By providing real-time crowd density insights, it enables organisers to monitor congestion, improve response times, and allocate staff and amenities more efficiently—reducing overcrowding risks and enhancing the overall festival experience. The platform features an interactive MapBox-powered map that displays live crowd movement, facility capacity indicators, and real-time notifications. WebSocket technology ensures instant updates, empowering organisers to make proactive, data-driven decisions. Developed using Django, Python, PostgreSQL, and React, PulsePath streamlines festival operations while improving safety and cost management.
Fidelity Ireland Recognises the Importance of Cloud Migration with ‘Bridge’
‘Bridge’ offers infrastructure recommendations, helping small companies migrate to the cloud within their constraints. Using infrastructure as code, it provides disaster recovery automation through Terraform scripts for resilient cloud deployment. Powered by a machine learning module trained on real-time performance data for cloud benchmarks and workloads, Bridge optimises cloud services to meet business needs. This project aims to reduce the migration overhead and costs for small businesses, allowing them to fully benefit from the scalability of cloud providers, primarily Amazon Web Services (AWS). At its core, this project bridges the gap between small companies and the expanding public cloud sector.
Huge congratulations to the award recipients, and our thanks to Fidelity Ireland for their continued support in promoting diversity and excellence in STEM.
