ScratchNest

Overview

In the summer of 2020, I interned at the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, India. Later in fall 2020, I was awarded a UG-CHANAKYA fellowship by DST iHub - Agriculture & Water Technology Development Hub (AWaDH), IIT Ropar. Since then I have contributed to various research projects under the guidance of Prof. Suman Kumar. Currently, I am collaborating with an IIT Ropar led startup ScratchNest Pvt. Ltd, and leading the development of a cross-platform mobile application for Bluetooth-based temperature logger.

PROJECT : App development for bluetooth enabled temperature logger

In collaboration with the team of SCRATCHNEST, I am leading the design and development of a cross-platform mobile application as a companion to the Bluetooth-based temperature logger using Figma for designing and Flutter for development. The temperature logger is an internet-of-things based data logger developed for temperature monitoring to safeguard vaccines, blood plasma, cold chain shipments, etc. at storage temperature and environment. The companion app is intended to configure the device and to download and visualise the tracked data.

PROJECT : Network server for LoRa Wide Area Network

LoRa is a wireless technology that offers long-range, low power and secure data transmission for M2M and IoT applications. LoRa can be used to connect sensors, gateways, machines, devices, animals, people etc. wirelessly to the cloud. A network server is at the core of any LoRa network that enables connectivity, management, and monitoring of devices, gateways and end-user applications. Its main objectives are to ensure the security, scalability and reliability of data routing throughout the network.
To develop a cost-effective network server to provision and manage endpoints and gateways of sensors in an efficient, scalable, and secure way, I used a self-hosting approach to host the network server on the cloud and used Docker for containerization, Go-lang for development and React for the front-end. I further tested the developed server for the Water Quality Monitoring System for Fisheries.
