* Built micro-service cloud platform* Designed APIs to interact with cloudBit* Collaborated on cloudBit product development* Maintained service availability* Researched and presented whitepapers on future platform directions* Wrote software specifications* Collaborated with Electrical engineers on protocol design atop TLS* DevOps* Built app for end-user cloudBit setup and testing* Helped grow the team* Built internal tools (cloudBit simulators, API CLIs etc.)* MoreI built of the realtime distributed cloud system at littleBits that powers the cloudBit. The cloudBit was an "Internet of Things" (IoT) product realized as a prized module in the littleBits library. It bridged communication between a user's circuit and the internet. The internet became a physical building block. For a medium otherwise invisible to the senses this bore a potent feeling that we could revolutionize people's relation to connectivity!To realize this platform I built a number of backend services including a TLS Server, an HTTPS API, a Web Socket API. Tools used included Redis and RethinkDB for data/messaging, Elastic Search for log analysis, AWS/GCP for infrastructure, docker/kubernetes for deployment, OAuth 2. I also built the control app where users setup, managed, and interacted with their cloudBit. Furthermore I helped grow the team, researched advanced platform features, made internal CLI tools, weighed in on product decisions, contributed leadership, and more.

* Developed modular UI components and implemented hardest UI views.* Mentored team members, jumped into hot-zones.We implemented a 300 page wireframe webapp (in angular.js) for Optimum, a Long Island telcom. I developed or guided development of a scalable CSS architecture (including ideas from BEM), UI component library, and thorny UI views demanding special intervention.

* Architected a frontend stack for a large team of developersI guided the assembly of a massively scalable modern stack for frontend development. At that time this meant Grunt for build, LESS for CSS, Angular for client MVC, and testacular (now Karma) for testing. Our custom build process made development a relative breeze. Importantly streamlined building arbitrary components (widget to page scale) composed of colocated style structure and logic.
