Senior Software Engineer — Mindhop Inc., White Plains, NY | 2023 – 2026
Over-Height Vehicle Detection — Real-Time Edge Safety System (State DOT) [Details under NDA]
- Sole architect of production edge-computing safety system: fault-isolated multi-process architecture with layered watchdog recovery, extended continuous uptime, and minimal memory footprint.
- Dual-sensor correlation (LiDAR + video analytics) with intelligent deduplication; optimized detection pipeline reducing false positives via confidence-based filtering.
- Real-time event distribution for traffic management dashboards; automated field installer with encryption and hardware integration.
DMS Control API — Highway Dynamic Message Sign Command & Control
- Sole architect: reverse-engineered NTCIP 1203 from MIB specs to build vendor-agnostic driver framework (Daktronics VFC-3000, generic NTCIP) with factory/registry pattern and 3-tier quirk resolution.
- Full protocol lifecycle: MULTI validation, CRC computation, activation sequences, readback verification. 15+ REST endpoints, 31 E2E tests, Kafka streaming.
Device Status Monitoring — Network Infrastructure at Scale (State DOT) [Details under NDA]
- Architected async monitoring for thousands of devices across hundreds of subnets: 90%+ cycle time reduction via asyncio/aiohttp with high-concurrency worker pools.
- APScheduler per-group scheduling with adaptive intervals, PostgREST streaming writes, Docker + AWS. Extended zero-error continuous operation.
Alert Routing & Video Streaming — Event Processing & Low-Latency Camera Infrastructure
- Real-time alert system (Flink/Kafka) dispatching email, SMS, WebSocket notifications. Video platform: Flask + FFmpeg + WebRTC/HLS delivery with React monitoring UI.
Front-End — Production React/Next.js Monorepo
- Contributor to production Next.js 15 / React 19 / TypeScript monorepo (Turbo, pnpm). Integrated real-time safety subsystem: alert providers, WebSocket streams, map panels, Kendo grids.
