This Ruby on Rails web portal is developed for reporting and forecasting weather for municipalities to manage their documentation of weather-related operations every season. I focused on creating a well-structured system that is easy to use.

The client was an enterprise company working in operations for more than 120 years, with more than 400 municipal members.

The main goal was to automate operations documentation for a whole season, along with weather forecasting, reporting, and alerting the system for extreme weather.

It was a mega project with local governments being its target customers and data volume expected to be getting into TBs.

The development team consisted of up to ten members over time, with roles being divided into architect, developers, the QA team, and a manager.

I worked directly with the client to gather all the requirements and product delivery.

Built Weather tracking system and documentation systems as Rails Engines

The product was built keeping in mind the ability of end users, which could be in any age range up to 70 years.

A MEAN stack-based future-centric app with a serverless API and Angular front end. The client was a non-government organization enabling customer organizations to automate salt tracking operations.

The project was built with a focus on extensibility and durability. The team that worked on the project was composed of four people with a sole architect/developer, graphics designer, QA, and manager. The app was extensible and could be integrated with any other similar app with minimal effort, as the API-based design was carefully crafted to allow this. A salt tracking console device was connected to the system, reporting GPS and salting information via HTTP. The system handled further reporting according to the end user's requirements. The technologies used in this system include a vast range of AWS services like Lambda, Cognito, CloudWatch, S3, etc.

A Ruby on Rails, Angular, React, and AngularJS-based system for managing the fleet for contractors. The client was a private organization providing automation solutions for its customers. The team for the project had around 20 people, depending on the volume of deliverables. Some of the options included in the system were:

• IVR: Integrated a Twilio-based IVR and messaging system into the system that would help people perform tasks, such as setting up work orders and logging work hours against the work orders. The system was based on both Twilio IVR and messaging services.
• Salesforce integration: Integrated Salesforce fleet information for the clients into our system and vice versa.
• GPS tracking: An online real-time tracking system for the fleet with information regarding operations performed during patrol hours and suggestions for where improvements are needed.
• Real-time map plotting: Plotted whole patrol information on the map for reporting purposes.
• Routes/geofences defining: Defined geofences for operations to be performed within or outside of them.
• Work-orders management
• Cost calculations

My role varied from being a developer initially to an architect for new features and manager/mentor for junior developers.

A Ruby on Rails-based solution used by municipalities to manage their day-to-day operations of field patrol and material application. PostGIS was used in the project to handle a range of GIS-related queries and reporting. There was a live location map integrated and season-dependent reporting, like daily reports for summer and winter.

A Ruby on Rails app with Node.js-based serverless functions performing some operations. The Project is for multiple award-winning enterprise organizations. Worked as a part of the new website, and the role was to be part of a module for automations. The main part of the automation engine was in Ruby on Rails, with actions residing in Lambda based on a serverless framework.

A Ruby on Rails-based gifting platform.

I worked as a full-stack developer integrating new designs and features to make the portal look better. I also updated some features on the admin end to make tasks easier.
