• Lead programmer overseeing multiple software projects to support robotics research
• Developed a data pipeline for collecting, uploading, processing, and displaying data collected by clinic-based and community-based robotic systems
• Developed a RESTful API using Express.js to power connections between data collection, data storage and data processing
• Data collection incorporated Android phone and tablet apps written in Java that would connect directly to robotic systems and collect data via Bluetooth then send to our API as well as a Python package that could be.
• Implemented data storage for the pipeline using a combination of MongoDB instances running on EC2 servers as well as S3 buckets for larger raw data files
• Lead developer building a frontend data portal using React to let researchers and collaborators view data collected by systems remotely in real time
