Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

General Duties and Responsibilities:• Member of the IoT research lab of Ontario Tech University (UOIT).• Conduct PhD research on my incentive term of "Phone of Things (PoT)," where I design standardized bridges between IoT and VoIP technologies. PoT extends the connectivity options of IoT systems through the ubiquitous phone network infrastructure and assets. At the same time, it provides seamless interaction with IoT systems through mature phone technology (i.e., SIP protocol) with abstractions that people are already familiar with. Alongside this, it leverages the existing communication server as the backend to manage smart gadgets on the premises.• Design a lightweight version of the SIP protocol, which I call tSIP, suitable for deployment in resource constrained embedded IoT devices. tSIP allows smart IoT gadgets to act as a typical SIP endpoint in the VoIP ecosystem, where gadgets can be managed through typical phone calls and intuitive voice commands.• Design modern and innovative ambient-aware telephony solutions based on PoT to increase business productivity, mitigate missed business calls' effects, and optimize the call waiting times for better customer satisfaction. • Design a tiny registration and authentication mechanism based on blockchain technology for smart gadgets to associate with the communication server in PoT systems.• Selected as a teaching assistant to educate students in the field of programming (C, C++, and Python), mobile application development (Android), web programming (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, MySQL, PHP), and distributed systems:o Prepare and deliver weekly tutorial sessions to review the topics covered in the lectures.o Act as a liaison between the professor and students by providing weekly handouts and solving problems that enhance their comprehension and exam preparedness.o Provide constructive feedback to the students to improve their programming technique and efficiency.

Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

General Duties and Responsibilities:• Design, purchase, install, administer, monitor, and troubleshoot Rook Hotel's cyber network infrastructure and assets (Ethernet cables, optical fiber risers, routers, switches, cybersecurity appliances, security cameras, VoIP, UPS).• Deploy Mikrotik's CAPsMAN to seamlessly configure and synchronize a mesh of Mikrotik's CAPs distributed throughout the premises of the Rook Hotel floors.• Provide hotel guests with high confidentiality and privacy when they connect to the hotel network through an enterprise-grade wireless network (WPA2-Enterprise) and dynamic VLAN assignment for each suite.• Strengthen the hotel network against cybersecurity attacks by utilizing NGFW (Fortinet) to provide cybersecurity solutions (physical firewalls, intrusion protection, SSL inspection, web filtering, application control, SD-WAN).• Design and implement secured RESTful API interfaces to the network assets (Mikrotik, Fortinet, FreeRADIUS) for seamless and programmatic integration with other hotel systems (booking, payment, and IoT systems).• Design and implement the IoT system for the hotel by deploying the frontend, cloud-hosted backend (web application, database, MQTT broker), and physical IoT gateways. The system enables the guests to control smart gadgets in the suites (i.e., thermostats, lightbulbs, wall plugs) through an easy-to-use web application. It also enables the hotel's CMS to command and control the gadgets within the suites (i.e., reset the room thermostat to predefined settings when the guest checks in/out).• Maximize the organization's network performance by monitoring the performance and setting up a notification system using Zabbix.• Assist with operating and maintaining the organization-wide LANs (4 sites), site-to-site VPN tunnels, and Internet systems.• Identify and resolve network-related issues such as connectivity problems, bandwidth bottlenecks, and security vulnerabilities to minimize downtime and disruptions.
