Full Stack & IoT Platform Developer
Hi, I'm Aravind
Building reliable web platforms, device integrations, and intelligent automation systems.
About
I'm a full-stack developer with around four years of experience shipping production software - web platforms, backend APIs, and IoT systems that talk to real hardware. Right now I'm at Semicon Media, building a cloud IoT platform end to end: FastAPI services over MQTT, React dashboards, GPS tracking with geofencing, payment and SIM-lifecycle integrations, and computer-vision APIs - deployed on DigitalOcean and monitored with Sentry. Before that, I built enterprise systems at PSGR Krishnammal College (RFID gate software, GLPI asset tracking across 1800+ systems, an OJS journal platform) and RFID-driven library and jewellery ERP software at 2CQR Automation. I like owning a problem end to end - database schema to device firmware to UI - and I'm as comfortable reading an ESP32 serial log as tuning a Next.js build.

Systems that run in production
IoT platforms, RFID-driven enterprise systems, and hardware-connected software — built, deployed, and operated end to end.
Role: Full-stack developer - backend services, dashboards, CV APIs, deployment
A cloud-based IoT platform (similar to Blynk / Arduino Cloud / ThingsBoard) enabling real-time device communication, monitoring, alerting, GPS tracking (GeoLinker), cellular connectivity management, Razorpay payments, Google Home integration, and AI-powered computer vision APIs for license plate, object, helmet, and face detection.
Role: Architect & developer - ERPNext/Frappe customization, Flutter app
Currently building an enterprise inventory management platform on ERPNext, Frappe, and Flutter, delivering barcode and RFID-driven inventory visibility through standard ERPNext workflows.
Role: Firmware developer - display UI, prompt design, WiFi management
Embedded AI voice companion bringing Google Gemini 2.0 to the ESP32-S3 Box - an age-aware companion for children (4-14 years) with a custom master prompt, personalized on-boot setup (name and age), a 2.4" LCD display interface via TFT_eSPI, and WiFi network management over Serial.
Role: Implementation & administration - OJS deployment, editorial workflow
Implemented a complete Journal Management System for PSGR Krishnammal College for Women (Annals of Arts Research) supporting the full editorial workflow - submission, peer review, editorial decisions, and publication with author/reviewer/editor role-based access. Deployed end-to-end on a secure Linux server and trained editorial staff.
Role: Implementation & customization - deployment, agents, dashboards
Customized and deployed GLPI (open-source IT asset management) to automate inventory tracking across 1800+ systems with real-time updates, FusionInventory auto-discovery across departments, helpdesk ticketing integrated with asset records, and custom dashboards for institutional reporting at GRG Education.
AWS-SW01-PROJ-0001 - Jewellery RFID Management
Role: Developer - WPF client, RFID Reader SDK integration
WPF desktop application for end-to-end jewellery management using RFID - real-time tag scanning, tracking, inventory, transfers, filtering, and anti-theft. Integrates RFID reader hardware via the RFID Reader SDK with a Material Design UI, secure login, and configurable reader settings (port selection, baud rate).
