I'm a central part of Tobii Pro Pulse.

- implemented a high-load ingestion pipeline on Amazon Web Services via API Gateway, Lambda, SQS, S3, Kinesis, Firehose
- set up a data analytics pipeline on AWS via S3 and Athena
- contributed to a data retrieval API on AWS via API Gateway, Lambda, Athena
- contributed to monitoring solutions via CloudWatch and Datadog, along with Slack integrations
- bootstrapped and contributed to a dashboard solution using Auth0, Vuejs and Chartjs that uses modular data retrieval. Hosted on AWS S3 and CloudFront
