Projects
Integrity โ Asset Management Platform
At InnoTECHT I lead the design and development of Integrity, an industrial asset management platform for corrosion management and asset integrity monitoring. Areas I own include:
- Asset management core: a unified asset hierarchy with inspections, issues and reporting shared across the platform's integrity services.
- Live IoT data: an MQTT pipeline that streams readings from field devices into the platform for near-real-time monitoring.
- Platform foundations: Python/FastAPI services on PostgreSQL, a React/Next.js front end, AWS Cognito authentication and containerised deployment on AWS.

Educational Game Management Portal
I designed and developed a front-end portal with key features: system admin can create school entities; school admin can add teachers, classes, and students, and view performance reports; and teachers can add classes and students, and track their performance. It offers an efficient and user-friendly experience for managing student performance in the game, and I believe it will contribute significantly to the project's success.
