#10🏆
Creativity & Originality (Passionate about Busylight customization) – Winner of $50 Amazon Gift Card
Ted Stabile – Engineer of Corporate Workplace Solutions (previous role) at Goldman Sachs
“I’ve had the opportunity to use Kuando Busylights for custom telephony solutions in a previous role.
After experimenting a bit with Busylights HID Api, I was able to discover the breadth of colors the Busylight can shine in!
On the side, I make balloon animals and tried to fuse the two into one creation on a few occasions.
Below is my entry for the contest, it’s a balloon dragon head, featuring two Alpha models for the eyes, and two Omega models for the base of the fire breath.
I’ll also attach another dragon design I’ve made previously back during the Halloween season, this design was used as the model for a speech to text emotional sentiment analyzer.
Depending on the emotional sentiment detected, the dragons eyes and body (alpha models for the face and body, omega models for the wings) would light up as different colors. Thank you for hosting this contest!”

Context & Environment (Partner custom integration and implementation into client’s modern open office workplace environment) – Winner of $300 Amazon Gift Card
Levi Burnham – Project Manager @ Voxo
“We were thrilled with how seamlessly the busy lights integrated into our Connect platform.
The setup was incredibly smooth, thanks to their well-structured JavaScript SDK, which allowed us to automate status updates without requiring any manual user interaction.
Our customers can simply plug in a busylight, and it dynamically reflects their availability: amber for pause, green for ready, and red for busy, ensuring real-time visibility for call center managers.
The ease of deployment and integration made it a no-brainer for enhancing our user experience, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
This solution has not only improved agent efficiency but also enhanced visibility across teams, making it an invaluable addition to our platform.”
