- Owned HIVE's connectivity experience through the mobile app, used by 1000+ users: users lost control of their devices whenever the internet dropped, so I designed dual-channel control, MQTT over WiFi with automatic BLE failover, removing internet dependency, and shipped native iOS & Android widgets for faster everyday control.
- Led the HIVE Pro app development along with backend APIs required for the app. Teams had no common app to test the product, so I coordinated across hardware, firmware and design and shipped an early build that became the source of truth, letting everyone test independently and making the product shipping cycle 50%+ faster.
- Built the IoT software stack for Praan Sanctuary, a home automation platform for automated air quality & experience control. Helped secure developer commitments for 500+ home deployments; now used in investor fundraise demos. ->
- Prototype to production in days: built C firmware for an nRF-based BLE door/window sensor from scratch (real-time open/closed detection over BLE advertising, hardware integration, end-to-end testing), delivering a working prototype in under a week.
- Contributed to the core backend (Node.js, TypeScript, Redis, MongoDB) powering 1,000+ connected devices: generalized it into a multi-product platform, shipped location-tracking APIs, and built an MQTT-based filter-notification system.
- Identified an internal bottleneck (dependence on client-provided dashboards) and built an in-house GPS & telemetry management platform (multi-threaded TCP server, Flask, MongoDB, React dashboard), boosting operational efficiency by 75%+.
- Spotted a testing gap for sales and demos and designed a mock UPI payment platform (MQTT) with real-world UPI UX that triggers the Soundbox's payment announcement flow, now powering client/investor demos.
- Replaced error-prone manual quality checks with an automated in-line quality control system over UART, achieving 80%+ reliability and eliminating manual intervention.
- Owned end-to-end firmware in C on ESP-IDF for GPS tracking devices: AIS140 & GT06 protocols, GSM/SMS commands, OTA updates over SMS and TCP, UART/I2C drivers, and low-power sleep modes, powering 500+ deployed devices.
- Developed and launched the main company website with modern responsive design, resulting in 40% increase in user engagement and improved conversion rates.
- Designed and developed multiple internal tools and interactive dashboards using React, TypeScript, Node.js, and Tailwind CSS, streamlining team workflows and data analysis.
- Built comprehensive tools for real-time data analysis and visualization, leading to a 60% increase in team efficiency and faster decision-making processes.
- Leveraged AWS S3 and CloudFront services for scalable web hosting and content delivery, achieving 99.9% uptime and improved global performance.
