Experience

Smart Celsius Big Data Project

Smart Celsius is a bunch of applications that were used in a big data technology stack. It was used as a prototype for an international company specializing in IoT.

It processes and analyzes a stream of data from temperature sensors from different places in the world.

Technology Stack:
• Apache Kafka as a publishing/subscribing messaging system; the sensors acted as publishers.
• Apache Spark Streaming receives information through Kafka, analyzes it in real-time, and publishes it in Firebase.
• The Angular JS application receives data from Firebase and display analytics.

Real-time Planning System

It was a big project that involved the migration from hundreds of Google spreadsheets to a completely solid solution for a Fortune 500 international company.

The main goal of this project was backward compatibility and enable the ability for multiple users to simultaneously work with planning data while updating it in real-time.

Technology Stack:
• AngularJS for the front end. The front end was fully tested with client-unit testing frameworks: Karma and CasperJS.
• Firebase for the back end. The back end was secured with Firebase security rules to separate access rights to the database.

Event Presentation System

The project was developed for a big international company with headquarters in Switzerland. The main goal of this project was scalability for 1,000 simultaneous users.

We achieved it by dividing the software into two parts: the front-end (AngularJS and Bootstrap with a responsive design for different platforms) and the back-end (Java endpoints on the Google App Engine platform).

This project included the Google API for many features. I used the Google App Engine for setting-up the user credentials (for OAuth client authorization and Google App scripts authorization), using the Google API (Google Spreadsheets, Google Forms, Google Charts, Google Sites, Drive API, Mail API, YouTube API, Google Speech API) on the client-side (AngularJS, Bootstrap, and iPhone), Google endpoints as the main web services, Google Channels (WebSockets) for real-time users interactions, and the Google Datastore as the main database.

Medical Equipment Storage System

This is the storage accounting, purchase/sale, and client interaction system for a medical equipment reseller. The application was born in 2010 and currently, it is the main daily-use system in those companies without the need for much maintenance.
