Experience
OWL Intelligent Lock
An IoT device that helps users secure and monitor any premise. At the same time, SLMS is a web-based solution that interacts with back-end APIs and manages the functionalities and OWL devices. I was the technology lead responsible for its architecture and development.
SLMS was developed using the C# .NET stack, deployed in Azure, and built with a security-first approach, with its data secured at rest and in transit. It's highly secured at the device and software level, using in-memory storage and cryptographic modules for encryption. It has multi-factor authentication that supports passwords, OTP, Bluetooth, facial recognition combinations, and authorization for devices and users. It also uses Twilio, Whispir, and SendGrid for email and SMS notifications.
The entire solution was also highly tested by external security vendors and underwent vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, load testing, and static code analysis. It won the prestigious SiTF Award in 2017 for The Best Innovative Infocomm product category from the Singapore Government.

iHub Project
A web-based solution for video analytics and IoT devices that monitors construction workers' safety in real-time. I was the lead developer responsible for architecture and development.
The solution consists of a 3-tier web portal, an API-first back end, and mobile applications. The project uses IoT sensors to track the user and heavy machinery movements in real-time and communicate with the back end. The back end then correlates the positioning of every user and equipment, determining if the user is in a dangerous spot, like being run over by a vehicle or standing below a loaded crane.
It also uses an ArcGIS map to project the real-time locations of the users, equipment, and vehicles within the site and reports any potential anomalies or risks. Video cameras are also a source of information. The back-end algorithms create a fusion of IoT telemetry and video events to determine potential anomalies and measure the site's productivity.
