About
Built and owned an end-to-end real-time IoT telemetry backend that powers a digital twin experience on a Meta Quest headset, integrating Cisco LoRaWAN sensors and external REST data sources. Migrated from Azure Functions to a FastAPI service to overcome firewall constraints, add caching/fallback reliability, and significantly reduce operating cost while improving performance and evolvability.

Key Strengths
- End-to-end ownership of a backend system from thesis to startup project
- Designed low-latency real-time IoT-to-digital-twin architecture for multiplayer VR
- Pragmatic architecture tradeoff decisions (serverless to FastAPI) to reduce cost and improve performance
- API reliability patterns: caching plus fallback to last-known-good data
- Security-in-depth implementation: JWT auth, endpoint permissions, database RLS, and MFA
- Risk-managed migration execution via parallel run and incremental rollout with schema validation
- Proactively identified hardware/offline edge cases (sensors unavailable) and hardened system behavior
