- Developed an image-processing algorithm for event detection in tunnels. The algorithm connects a tunnel camera and provides detection results like car counts and various alarms (pedestrians, dropped packages, and intruders). The process also supports processed and unprocessed images as an MJPEG stream.
- Built a server application SPECTO to configure and run multiple image-processing detectors and integrate them with the central server. The server creates, deletes, and configures different types of detector processes and informs the central server about events.
- Created an IP-camera mocking application to integrate the network video recorders; this application can be added to an NVR as a camera and provide RTSP streams from different detecting processes. Its source can be configured through an HTTP request and NVR sees the process as a single camera.
- Created an application, called Bluesis, to gather Bluetooth discoveries of filed devices and use that data to calculate travel time and density between points. The system used Mac addresses sent from devices and find matches between configured points and use them in calculations. The system saves calculations in its own format and also integrates different host with different data formats.
- Developed user interfaces of Bluesis to configure parameters and monitor field devices and system statuses.
- Built a lightweight HTTP server in C++ with automated controller registration and routing. Also developed the WebSocket server for the HTTP server. The server connects other processes in the environment with DBus for configuration and monitoring. It also subscribes signals of other process and sends them via WebSocket.
- Developed a junction controller system Centris which controls traffic lights on junctions. Centris is an embedded device with an arm CPU, and it can connect to and gather information from different types of sensors and junction controllers. Centris can be configured to run different algorithms like the green wave and dynamic. It can also be configured and monitored from the central server. It can provide information about junction status to the server. It has its own HTTP server and user interface.

Cybersoft | Financial Billing and Payments System
ROLE: Junior Software Engineer | Full-stack Developer
PROJECT DETAILS: Cybersoft mainly works on projects where banks and financial companies use them as their main form of software. In general, companies do not want their accountants to have unfettered access their bank accounts so we provided a solution where accountants have limited-but-useful access to a client's bank account. This project is not hosted by bank servers. It is an external system and can connect with multiple accounts in different banks.
