Backend engineer at Safe Safari building real-time IoT telemetry systems, with 1,000+ concurrent streams and 92.9% uptime.

At Safe Safari, I architected a Node.js backend for IoT vehicle monitoring that supports 1,000+ concurrent streams with 92.9% uptime. I implemented Redis queues for sensor telemetry and integrated ML-based anomaly detection for real-time incident alerts.

At Davis & Shirtliff, I built a backend system integrating ERP data for automated quotations, reducing manual quotation time from days to minutes. At Tufin, I worked as a Junior Automation QA engineer, creating test automation for network security policy workflows and regression suites.

On my Hospital Device Reading Service project, I built a FastAPI API that handles unreliable Wi-Fi, duplicate readings, out-of-order arrivals, and devices with skewed clocks. I’m extending it with a DevOps stack including PostgreSQL, Docker, NGINX, Terraform, Ansible, and monitoring, while studying for the KCNA.
