Software Engineer Intern

Mar 2020 – Sep 2020 · 6 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Developed the backend system of IoT empowered appliances(AC, air purifiers, etc.) using Firestore and Cloud Functions(NodeJS 10). Also developed multiple APIs for real-time data transfer while also taking measures to prevent security breaches and attacks.
Designed time series schema on Cloud Firestore using bucketing, which reduced the number of document reads by a factor of 60, while querying for graphs. Also implemented my own query structure for the schema reducing each query to a maximum of 3 document reads for any given query. This restructure reduced the querying time for trend charts on mobile from 300ms(average) to 84ms(average).
Worked with 3 members to build the mobile app(used by consumers of the product) for the same using Flutter and Rive.
Wrote a custom radial gauge(in Flutter) to display parameters to align with the theme of the app.
