Project #1 : Schréder-Hyperion IoT Platform [Lisbon, Portugal]

Description : Schréder sees outdoor lighting as a true enabler for smart cities. By providing the means to remotely monitor and control light in outdoor spaces, Schréder gives cities the ability to dynamically tailor lighting scenes to fit environmental conditions, events or predefined settings.

The architecture proposed by Codit is cloud native, microservices and serverless based. IoT solution subsystems are built as discrete services that are independently deployable, and able to scale independently. These attributes enable greater scale, more flexibility in updating individual subsystems, and provide the flexibility to choose appropriate technology on a per subsystem basis.

Technologies/Platforms/Tools/Frameworks : Azure IoT Hub, Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service, Docker containers, Azure Kubernetes Service, Helm, Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling (KEDA), ASP.NET Core, ASP.NET Web API, Azure table storage, Azure functions, Azure Web app for containers, Azure Key Vault, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Git, JIRA, Confluence.

Responsibilities :

• Designed and developed APIs for device management; integrating APIs from other partners of Schréder, data store and device twins in Azure IoT Hub.
• Improved existing architecture of the platform by introducing Dapr actors to take care of repeating tasks using Dapr reminders.
• Involved in CI/CD activities using YAML build & deploy pipelines in Azure DevOps.
• Learning more about Azure Kubernetes Service and Helm by utilizing these services for managing deployment and orchestration of the custom gateway components.
• Reduced cloud utilization costs by improving logging from the platform and implementing event driven scalability using KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling).

Project #1 : Maersk NSCP Platform

Description :

As part of its digital transformation efforts, shipping giant Maersk needed to streamline IT operations and optimize the value of its IT resources. Maersk adopted Microsoft Azure, migrated key workloads to the cloud, and modernized its open-source software, which included the adoption of Microservices based architecture on Azure. The resulting business value is savings on resource costs, faster solution delivery time, and the ability to attract expert IT talent.

Technologies/Platforms/Tools/Frameworks: .NET core, .NET Web API, Docker containers, Azure Service Bus, Azure functions, Cosmos DB, Azure DevOps, Datadog.

Responsibilities :

• Involved in bug triaging and handling Service requests along with fixing bugs.
• Adhered to the SLAs for P1, P2 and P3 issues and helping the team members to achieve the same.

Project #1 : MNO Platform [Ghent, Belgium]

Description : BMID (Belgian Mobile ID) has created a mobile application called ITSME. ITSME provides a digital identity to people. It first started with Belgian citizens only but is now looking to expand to other countries. It allows users to login & confirm payments in online banking, get access to online public services, sign official documents and create online account.

The focus of this project is to make sure that BMID can provide the new and the existing mobile network operators a normalized way of setting up the communication with the ITSME application.

Technologies/Platforms/Tools/Frameworks : .NET Core, Entity Framework Core, Azure SQL database, Logic Apps, Azure API Management, Azure table storage, Docker containers, Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure DevOps, Git.

Responsibilities :

• Involved in designing and developing APIs that pull/push data from the data-store or interact with existing client application endpoints.
• Involved in CI/CD activities using Azure DevOps artifacts.
• Designed and implemented dummy client applications for simulating flows with the MNO Platform APIs using Logic Apps, Azure API Management and Azure table storage.
• Involved in product documentation of the API using Slate and OpenAPI specification.

Organizational activities :

• Helped the product team for building a "Logs receiver" for the Azure Data Factory which integrates with the dashboard of the in-house "Invictus for Azure" product. The dashboard helps the clients track the messages and their respective status in the Azure Data Factory.
• Helped the R&D team in tasks involving PoCs. The last R&D PoC task I worked on was to create a "Sequence Controller" for an in-house product "Invictus for Azure".

• PMA lead for projects FIFA(FDCP), TransLink Systems(TLS) and National Bank of Egypt(NBE).
• Actively involved in issue triage, backlog management, prioritizing issues and developing new features via CR.
• Worked as a release manager(in absence of the active release manager) and BizTalk developer for BEMIS integration development project which received the Top Box award.
• Actively involved in the hiring process for Azure consultants.
• Received Spot award for assisting TLS with late night deployments.

• Involved in developing, bug fixing and maintaining asp.net web form applications.
• Involved in developing middle ware solutions using Microsoft BizTalk server.
