Worked with various clients on a variety of IoT, mobile and Cloud project in order to build modern mobile/web apps, IoT (Internet of Things) products and high-availability cloud solutions. This included electronics design, firmware development, mobile apps, telemetry data ingestion, server provisioning/ maintenance and analytics. A few high profile projects are as follows: BLOCKCHAIN LOYALTY PLATFORM Working to develop a blockchain based marketing and loyalty platform to connect the social influencers with the businesses. The platform allows the influencers and the businesses to establish a working relationship using smart contracts without any lengthy and expensive negotiations. As part of project I undertook the following activities: - Defined and created a business network using Hyperledger Fabric. - Hands on back-end business logic and 'smart contracts' development using Node.js - Deployed various components of the system on IBM Cloud using Cloud Foundry and IBM Blockchain. - Defined iOS/Android mobile apps using Angular and Cordova to interact with the Hyperledger Fabric network using the RESTful API. FITNESS REPUBLIC: Helped a tech Startup (Fitness Republic) to setup cloud infrastructure for a pure Serverless backend using technologies such as EC2, Lambda, SSM, AWS API Gateway, Dynamo DB, Cognito, Cloud Formation, Redis, ACM, Serverless framework, S3, SSM, IAM, Stripe payment APIs, Zendesk and JWT (auth tokens). ZEALA CARE: Developed a IoT healthcare solution for long term care and assisted living facilities that monitors the patient health using sensors such as diaper wetness, fall and motion. This project is using Zigbee and Thread IoT frameworks. Completed 50+ web and mobile project using technologies like AWS, Google Cloud Services, Angular, ObjectiveC, Swift, Java for Android, Angular, Node.JS, PHP, MySQL and Cordova.

Hong Kong Computime is a global industrial company developing IoT devices such as smart smoke alarms, smart thermostats, windows/door sensors, IoT Gateways and other HVAC devices. My responsibilities include overhauling the IoT and cloud development processes while building a future proof architecture. I am working hand in hand with multi-disciplinary global teams in Asia, Europe and North America to establish a more cohesive company wide approach from electronics to cloud development and from new product concepts to technical support. --- Setup highly available, secure and scalable infrastructure on AWS and Google Cloud. On AWS, I used services like EC2, EBS, Lambda, S3, CodeCommit, Elastic Load Balancing, Auto Scaling, DynamoDB, IAM, CloudFormation, CloudFront, Route53, AWS IoT, SNS, SQS, RDS, API Gateway and other related services. --- Setup DevOps and continuous delivery pipelines using Shell Scripts, Ansible, Jenkins, Git, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy and CodePipeline. --- I also used various services on Google and Azure cloud such as Nginx, Docker Containers, Kubernetes, Google AppEngine, Content Delivery Network and Access Management etc. --- Coordinated with a global team of engineers working on electronics, firmware, mobile apps and cloud apps to bring more cohesiveness by utilizing tools like Git and Confluence. --- Single handedly migrated servers and applications from a co-location facility to the AWS cloud. ---- Organized and analyzed streaming data for real-time fault detection and historical usage trends with search tools like Splunk. - Worked towards a long term big data strategy by initiating Hadoop based projects using MapReduce, HBase, Spark and Kafka etc. ---- Personally developed a Hyperledger Fabric prototype with development environment like Angular and Ionic for the company’s next generation IoT platform using blockchain. --- Worked towards the containerization of the platform using Docker and Kubernetes.
