The client was new to the Chinese market and had an activity tracking system/device. Clients track different daily records of their customers through the application deployed on the customers' devices. They wanted to customize all data and send the required notification to customers (to be aware of anything unusual).

Responsibilities/deliverables:
• Worked with the customer's German architect and delivery manager (from China) to understand the business requirements.
• Created an architecture diagram, a database, other resources, and an edge computing solution.
• Used GitLab for continuous integration, delivery, and deployment.
• Designed and created an IoT solution to track the device and display results on a 3rd-party solution.
• Sent notifications to customers' activity using notification services from Ali Cloud (AWS doesn't support)
• Used Jira for tracking project delivery.
• Helped create the customer's solution overview, workload, and other documents.
• Conducted daily meetings with customers. Updated them regularly.
• Managed different team members for an action plan and assisted as required for deployment.
• Performed POC with the customer and then moved to the development, staging, and production environments.

The client is an eCommerce company with an on-premises environment in China. They wanted to perform a lift-and-shift migration because they have multiple applications (internal and external) and didn't want to change anything in the existing environment. They used Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) and deployed all applications on those VMs. SQL Server was used on an Azure VM. Azure Express Route and Site Recovery were used for disaster recovery purposes.

Responsibilities/deliverables:
• Collaborated with the client and consultant to understand the business requirements and develop the solution design.
• Organized solution design/architecture review meetings for various parts with the customer from the US.
• Performed research and provided a valid solution that suits the needs of both the US and China environments.
• Offered guidance to the delivery person (internal and external) to perform various steps.
• Supported deployment and tracked the project process.

The client, one of the world's largest drone manufacturing and delivery companies, required a solution for internal testing before delivering to customers. They needed to present the best scenario use case with cutting-edge technologies. The client preferred Azure over other options, as they have a globally available Azure environment, but in China, they wanted to broaden the market.

Responsibilities/deliverables:
• Assisted the client in planning to use a newly deployed environment in the China region for a high-level POC with their customers.
• Conducted several meetings with the client to understand their challenges and preferences.
• Recommended using different technologies, such as WebApp, Azure Functions for executing tasks, and Azure IoT Hub to capture and process data, ultimately displaying it in a UI format from the back end.
• Performed POC and handover documentation by the deadline.
