Led the Real-Time Dashboard experience within Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence. Built React workflows for live market-style financial monitoring using continuously updating charts and Redux state patterns. Developed TypeScript chart components and performance optimizations for responsive user interaction during high-volume streaming. Implemented Node.js and Express APIs for dashboard configuration, query controls, and saved views with strong validation and error handling. Added WebSocket-driven refresh paths with reconnect logic and event buffering to maintain dashboard responsiveness during rapid data changes and temporary network interruptions. Optimized KQL query paths behind interactive filters to reduce repeated scans and shape lightweight result sets as Eventhouse tables grew. Improved code quality with unit tests, peer reviews, and AI-assisted test case drafting, and mentored engineers through technical design and incident reviews.

Built ingestion and monitoring capabilities for TwinIQ & Asset CBM, a wireless condition-based monitoring platform processing telemetry such as vibration, temperature, RPM, and tribology. Developed Node.js/Express ingestion services to normalize sensor streams into reliable event feeds for condition-based maintenance. Designed MongoDB schemas for equipment history and alert state, including compound indexing and aggregation pipelines to reduce high-volume telemetry query time. Created React dashboards with responsive visualizations and used Zustand for organizing live asset signals. Implemented WebSocket connections for near-real-time browser updates, including reconnect and message-order safeguards for unstable field network conditions. Automated Azure environments with Terraform and added test gates and documentation to support distributed debugging of production telemetry issues.
