Summary

Three years building products people use all day. At Wokay I own the task and chat modules of a real-time workspace, built audio/video calling on a mediasoup SFU, and shipped motion-aware background location tracking in React Native. After hours I write Go and Rust: a location-tracking ingest with a tested spec, a biometric device gateway, an inbox agent that drafts but never sends on its own.

Experience

1. Product Engineer 2 · Wokay

   2026.01 → now
   • Own the task management module on the frontend end to end: virtualized task lists, faster render paths, and drag-and-drop that stays correct across custom statuses.
   • Own the chat module alongside tasks.
   • Built audio/video calling on a mediasoup SFU.
   • Built background location tracking for the field-force feature in the React Native app, designed around battery life on real Android phones.

Selected projects

• Device Tracker · 2026.09 → now · active
  Go ingest, a trackcore library and an Android lab app for live location tracking. SPEC.md is the source of truth and every rule has an ID with a test named after it. P-01: raw events are never rewritten. P-04: unknown is shown as unknown. P-06: inaccurate samples are stored and filtered only at display time.
• Post Room · 2026.10 · live
  An agent for an HR inbox that drafts but never sends on its own. The job queue is a table in SQLite (WAL mode) worked by a Tokio task. No broker to run or babysit.
• TalkToFriend · 2026.04 → 07 · livegithub.com/anukulrajan7/talktofriend
  Video calls with no sign-up and no tracking, up to 20 people. Hybrid topology: 2–4 peers talk over a WebRTC P2P mesh, so there is no server media cost; at 5+ the room switches to an SFU, automatically as people join and leave.
• eSSL ADMS Gateway · 2026.09 · live
  A Go server that speaks an attendance terminal's push protocol. The device is the client. The server never connects in; to send it work you queue a command and wait for the next poll.
