WELBO is a dynamic startup that leverages social robotics to transform organizational teams and drive innovative workplace solutions. In our agile, collaborative environment, I have taken on a diverse range of responsibilities across backend, frontend, mobile, and cloud development, contributing directly to our groundbreaking initiatives.
Backend Development:
● Led the migration of robotics client software to a secure, high-performance cloud-based microservices solution using Node.js, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Redis, and related frameworks.
● Developed seamless integrations with APIs from Slack, Twilio, Microsoft, OpenAI, and more to enhance user engagement, system functionality and improve the business case for new and existing customers.
● Implemented test-driven development (TDD) practices to ensure robust and maintainable code leveraging industry-standard frameworks (e.g., Jest, Mocha Chai).
Cloud Operations & DevOps:
● Designed and managed CI/CD pipelines on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to support rapid development cycles.
● Managed and optimized Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters to ensure seamless orchestration and auto-scaling of containerized workloads.
● Engineered robust network architectures using Cloud Load Balancing and Cloud NAT.
● Implemented granular IAM policies to safeguard deployment environments and enable secure, scalable operations.
● Monitored and maintained the cloud infrastructure to ensure resource eciency, optimal performance, reliability, and proactive issue resolution.
Android Development:
● Engineered integrations between various robotics Android SDKs (Temi, Aldebaran, Sanbot, Pudutech, Orionstar, Alpha Robotics) and backend services to ensure reliable real-time communication via websockets.
● Actively collaborated with platform engineers to optimize integration performance and address platform-specific challenges.
● Integrated existing low-latency machine learning models for face, pose, and emotion detection, elevating the interactive capabilities of the robotics platforms.
UI/UX Development:
● Architected and implemented a robust ReactJS interface for both end-users and control users, streamlining the configuration, monitoring, and management of robotic systems.
