At Intellectual Ventures IDF (now Xinova), I contracted as a consultant to architect and develop a general purpose data analytics API platform development for a collection of protoyped hardware products, named QSense, that focused on providing insights to users based on environmental and bio markers. Intellectual property for the API platform was sold and transferred in 2016.Work Included:- Designed an API platform that included RESTful HTTP and MQTT based APIs for hardware developers and mobile application developers to provision hardware devices, ingest streams of data, and query for metrics- Developed the platform using Java 8 and Spring, and deployed to AWS- Worked closely with iOS developer on API usage and documentationTechnologies Used: Java, Spring 4, JAX-RS (Jersey), Tomcat, Maven, Git, Atlassian Bamboo, AWS (EC2, S3, Beanstalk, IoT, Kinesis, DynamoDB, RDS with MySQL)

After joining Appcelerator as part of the acquisition of Nodeable, I was part of a team that adapted the Nodeable product to replace an existing batch reporting tool with a real-time streaming analytics system for mobile app events. The system and API I built was a core offering of a suite of enterprise services offered by Appcelerator as it shifted its strategy from focusing on individual developers to enterprise sales.Achievements:- Successfully adapted, built, and released the new real-time analytics system in under 6 months after joining. I was directly responsible for adapting parts of the previous Nodeable product to using Apache Camel for message routing, RabbitMQ and AMQP for messaging, and writing significant parts of the API.- The system was able to maintain 100% uptime during extremely large spikes of traffic that occurred within an initial product push.- As the scope and the scale required of the system grew, I helped transition the reporting API and backend storage to be based on Elasticsearch and away from MongoDB, and introduced Redis as a general purpose cache.

At Nodeable, I was a lead engineer focused on integration and backend development on an early stage product that focused on streaming analytics product with social aspects that targeted DevOps users. As the company and product evolved, I was responsible for writing core parts of the system that dealt with event routing for both streaming processing and long term storage for batch processing as we transitioned the system to be based on the Lambda architecture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_architecture). I additionally served as the build engineer for the team and handled all build and packaging work using Maven for the JVM components and NPM for the Node.js components.Technologies Used: Java, JAX-RS (Jersey), MongoDB, Apache Camel, Apache Storm, AWS ElasticMapReduce, AWS S3, AWS EC2, Jenkins, Maven, Node.jsNodeable was acquired by Appcelerator in October of 2012.
