Here are some of my most impactful projects that demonstrate my expertise in full-stack development and cloud architecture.

GCP Database & Logging Cost Optimisation
2026
Completed
Monthly Cloud SQL partitions, archive-and-drop retention, and quieter logging so time-series storage and Cloud Logging stop growing without bound.
Key Achievements
- Stopped unbounded Cloud SQL growth with monthly partitions, archival, and partition drops
- Recent time-series queries prune history instead of scanning it
- Replaced long row-by-row retention deletes with dropping an expired month

Enterprise IoT Cloud Platform Migration
2017-2020
Completed
Zero-downtime move of a live consumer IoT backend off Xively onto GCP after Google acquired Xively and later discontinued it. Same platform now serving 70,000+ devices and 10,000+ accounts at 99.999% uptime.
Key Achievements
- Zero-downtime live migration from Xively to GCP
- Platform now serving 70,000+ devices and 10,000+ user accounts at 99.999% uptime
- Apps, devices, and voice integrations kept working through the cutover

Third-Party Integration API Platform
2020-Present
Ongoing
Partner-facing REST API for Zimi devices: OAuth 2.0 user consent, scoped control, and signed event delivery so integrations do not poll the fleet.
Key Achievements
- OAuth 2.0 so a user grants a partner access to their own devices, not the fleet
- Device read/control APIs with rate limits and cached hot reads
- Webhook events for status changes instead of partner polling

- Node.js
