   I used Python asyncio to develop several protocol handlers including a SIP server for managing KVM signaling, a proxy server for relaying NATS messages among boxes, and a web-socket proxy for relaying connections to processes on a private network. This NATS bridge also proxies external HTTP connections for containers running within a Docker swarm network. I fixed bugs in the golang code and submitted pull requests to the gRPC-Gateway project. We use this project to expose our gRPC interfaces and protobuffers through a REST API. I helped guide our developers in the ways of gRPC and general REST technology. I wrote the Command Line Interface for our product. I created a C++ implementation for the Redfish REST API for our products. I created an SSDP server for our embedded gateway product using Python. I created a suite of automated tests for our gateway product using Python. I added many features to our embedded product’s web interface. I served as UI lead for the gateway product team.
