Experience 

WELBO, Amsterdam, NL 

August 2018 - Present
WELBO is a dynamic startup that leverages social robotics to transform organizational teams and drive innovative workplace solutions. In our agile, collaborative environment, I have taken on a diverse range of responsibilities across backend, frontend, mobile, and cloud development, contributing directly to our groundbreaking initiatives. 

Backend Development: 

● Led the migration of robotics client software to a secure, high-performance cloud-based microservices solution using Node.js, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Redis, and related frameworks. 

● Developed seamless integrations with APIs from Slack, Twilio, Microsoft, OpenAI, and more to enhance user engagement, system functionality and improve the business case for new and existing customers.

 ● Implemented test-driven development (TDD) practices to ensure robust and maintainable code leveraging industry-standard frameworks (e.g., Jest, Mocha Chai). 

Cloud Operations & DevOps: 

● Designed and managed CI/CD pipelines on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to support rapid development cycles. 

● Managed and optimized Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters to ensure seamless orchestration and auto-scaling of containerized workloads. 

● Engineered robust network architectures using Cloud Load Balancing and Cloud NAT. 

● Implemented granular IAM policies to safeguard deployment environments and enable secure, scalable operations. 

● Monitored and maintained the cloud infrastructure to ensure resource eciency, optimal performance, reliability, and proactive issue resolution. 

Android Development:

 ● Engineered integrations between various robotics Android SDKs (Temi, Aldebaran, Sanbot, Pudutech, Orionstar, Alpha Robotics) and backend services to ensure reliable real-time communication via websockets. 

● Actively collaborated with platform engineers to optimize integration performance and address platform-specific challenges. 

● Integrated existing low-latency machine learning models for face, pose, and emotion detection, elevating the interactive capabilities of the robotics platforms. 

UI/UX Development: 

● Architected and implemented a robust ReactJS interface for both end-users and control users, streamlining the configuration, monitoring, and management of robotic systems.
