Experience
Android Deivce Cloud
The entire system consists of an agent that connects local devices to the cloud, a crawler that downloads apps from multiple Android app stores, including Google Play, a task distribution system, and a web application as the user portal.
I led the other three less experienced engineers and was responsible for the architecture, prototype, and detailed implementation.
The project was public at the 2015 Intel Software Professional Conference, which further gives me a top performance review.
This complex system involved multiple programming languages and frameworks, including Java, Python, Twisted, PHP, Laravel, Bootstrap, etc.
