Mariam Al Hamed, BA ZU Alumni of 2021 from the "College of Technological Innovation" and the owner of "Project Taskflare App"
"The golden idea emerged when it was my senior year at Zayed University when it happened. One night, I needed a new GoPro camera instantly delivered to me, so I could film my trip the day after. As you may have already guessed, each store I phoned told me that they would deliver within 2-5 business days unless if I purchased the camera directly from the store. I couldn’t go because it was already late, and I had a lot of packing to do. In that moment, I wondered to myself of how convenient it would be if I could simply assign someone within the store radius to complete my task. That’s when the app idea sparked in my head. I was visualizing myself inputting my needs into an app and imagining a green checkmark blinking to signal that someone is now handling my task. To deal with this matter, I had to send my driver to the store, purchase the camera and bring it all the way back home. If the app in my head existed, then I would have saved him the burden of taking the long route and easily assigned someone closer to the store to do it instead.
Although this is just the start, I still wouldn’t have made it this far without the push and support of my parents, my aunts Shaikha and Mahra, Professor Loubna Mekouar, Professor Sinan Salman, Professor Afshan Parkar, and my beloved friends – you know who you are. Thank you all, truly and deeply".
