  • Developed the producer-consumer on Kafka to consume data from the above app and streamlined to the data science team for analytics.
  • Handled the no-network zone edge cases that could still stream data into the locally-built pub/sub and would be streamed to Kafka on an encountering network.
  • Integrated Firebase to obtain real-time notifications and input from administrators.
  • Used this app to live stream a bus's location, which was used to show the bus's real-time location on customer and administrator interfaces.
  • Added an SOS feature for drivers and others in case of emergency.

Framework (GraphQL, Nest, TypeORM, and DataLoader)

I built an MVP for a client on Nest and integrated a tech stack of GraphQL, TypeORM, and DataLoader.

This was a one-of-a-kind framework that comes with the beauty and features of GraphQL along with the flavor of SQL. DataLoader was used to optimize the query. This MVP was a proof-of-concept feature for the client's enterprise application

React Native Eject on Expo

I built a framework on Expo that allows you to run React Native modules on top of Expo by writing mockups during development.

React Native Web MVP

I built an application in React Native Web that would simultaneously work both as a native app for iOS and Android as well as a web application.There were some compatibility issues initially which later get resolved with each update

This was basically an MVP for a proof of concept for a bigger enterprise application.
