A video conferencing and collaboration software that enables users to host audio and video meetings, share files, direct message each other, and participate in group chats. It also had a polling feature where users could vote on polls within a specified group.

I worked on the REST API endpoints with Python and Django for meetings, teams, user polling, and the back-end integration with OpenVidu. Additionally, I implemented automated, asynchronous, and periodic tasks with recurring scheduling meetings and email and mobile notifications.

A crowd-sourcing data collection project that sourced retail product prices from the general public, reimbursing these collectors via automated mobile money payment for the data submitted after data verification and validation. This data was then processed into several datasets for price comparison and sale to data subscribers.

I implemented the REST API endpoints with Python and Django for accounting and the geographical location of stores and designed and created data models for the PostgreSQL database and Elasticsearch indices. Additionally, I worked on Python scripts for automated weekly invoice report generation and email, as well as monthly accounting reports generation.

A Python, Django REST back-end, and Angular front-end project management and issue tracking and ticketing system. I designed the data models and developed the REST API endpoints with project milestone tracking and ticketing module. Additionally, I implemented Python scripts to automate duty rota allocation and send out notifications via email and SMS messages.

A Python, Django back-end, Angular front-end, and Android software products are used by factories to digitize their operations related to collecting farm produce from farmers and delivering it to factories, mitigating wastage and loss. It also handled the factory accounting procedures and pay rates for various types of farm produce. I implemented user authentication and authorization functionalities and automated generating various reports from the collection and accounting data. Additionally, I handled the creation of unit tests and led code reviews.

A Python, Django back-end, Angular front-end, and Android-based shopping assistant tool where users could create shopping lists, compare product prices in various outlets, and receive notifications on active deals and offers. I handled the design and implementation of data models and Elasticsearch indices and the creation of REST APIs related to geo-bounding users to receive only relevant information that would improve their shopping experience. Additionally, I handled unit testing and led code reviews.

A Python and Django-based building management, surveillance, and access management system. I developed the data models and built the REST APIs related to visitor inflow monitoring, shift scheduling, and zoning of premises into physical and security zones. I integrated IP cameras live-streaming with Python, Kurento Media Server, and WebRTC. I built an access control management module with Python and sockets for fingerprint readers. I built Python scripts for automated and periodic tasks alongside Redis and Celery. Additionally, I handled the system's deployment on Linux servers with Docker and Nginx.
