GoSchoolBox is a SaaS platform providing the backbone for school districts and tutoring companies to connect and manage operations effectively. As the platform scaled from 50,000 to over 1 million users, stability and performance challenges surfaced, including inconsistent user experiences, slow page loads, and gateway timeout errors. In my role as a software architect, I focused on transforming the platform into a stable, scalable, and resilient solution. I implemented Application Performance Monitoring (APM) systems with detailed performance dashboards to identify and resolve bottlenecks in real time. By refactoring critical user workflows and optimizing MongoDB search queries, I significantly improved page load times, server throughput, and the overall responsiveness of the application. These architectural improvements enabled seamless scaling and a consistent user experience, even under heavy demand.

Burro, a leader in autonomous farming technology, revolutionizes agriculture by automating tasks like load carrying and field navigation. As a software architect, I designed and developed a robust interactive web application that enables customers to create, manage, and optimize routes for Burro’s autonomous robots. The system integrates an intuitive map-based interface built with Leaflet.js, allowing users to draw, modify, and visualize complex routes. To ensure scalability and flexibility, I introduced a tree view architecture for organizing route data, making it efficient for users to manage workflows of varying complexity. By seamlessly integrating the application with Burro’s backend systems, I streamlined route management processes, delivering a reliable and user-friendly solution that enhances productivity and operational efficiency for end users.
