Platform is scalable and high performing and utilized by multiple teams at Rivian • Design and implementation of authorization APIs. Overhaul of existing APIs to improve scale and latencies and support additional OAuth workflows • Involved in identifying potential security vulnerabilities across the platform and addressing them. • Championed several initiatives focusing on security. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Box Jan 2018 – Jan 2021 | Redwood City, California • Working on customer facing REST API for compressed downloads of user files and folders. Part of implementation includes migrating components from large monolithic codebase to this new microservice. • Migrated core infrastructure components from Jetty to Vert.x. This change also allowed us to move all our synchronous code to asynchronous. Resulted in performance improvement and better resource utilization. ### Staff Software Engineer @ Nimble Storage Jan 2015 – Jan 2018 | San Jose, California • Designed and implemented real-time data ingestion pipeline using Kafka, Redis and C++ to ingest sensor data points. Data from each Nimble Array needs to be un-archived, transformed and then pushed down the pipeline to be consumed by the database. • Designed and developed secure bi-directional tunnel using WebSocket, MQTT and C++, which allows remote management of Nimble devices. Authentication and authorization of devices is handled using Two-Way SSL. ### Staff Software Engineer @ Harmonic Jan 2012 – Jan 2015 | San Jose • Lead a team of engineers to develop and improve System Manger, a configuration utility for Harmonic devices. This multi-threaded Windows application is coded in C++, Perl and HTML. Also involved in redesigning this application by replacing legacy data objects with STL, upgrading Apache from 1.3 to 2.2 and fixing memory leaks and improving speed. • Lead a team of engineers to design and implement an embedded management APIs for Harmonic play-out and ingest devices using C++ and Node.JS • Responsible for code reviews and improving the overall quality of code. ### Software Engineer Group Lead @ Schneider Electric Jan 2010 – Jan 2012 | Pleasanton • Lead design and development of the SDK for Pelco. The SDK libraries are written in C++ and C# interop to allow integrators to access Pelco devices. • Developed server side component in C++, which allows users to get live JPEG images from Pelco camera. This component uses JRTP lib and FFMPEG and saves the image to a file. • Responsible for design and development of Pelco integration into Lenel access control. The driver is written in C++ and provides a seamless integration of Pelco devices in their UI. ### Software Engineer 3 @ Pelco Jan 2008 – Jan 2010 • Developed a multi-platform RTSP Server using C++, STL and ACE framework (threading, synchronization and networking). The RTSP Server is based on Live555, which allows users to watch MPEG-4 streams from Pelco cameras and Network recorders on players such QuickTime, Windows Media Player etc. • Developed a multi platform video export library, which is being used by the Pelco software and by 3rd party integrators to export video. The library written in C++ and uses ffmpeg to transcode video into various formats. • Implemented C-Python watchdog daemon which monitors the hardware and restarts the machine on any failure ### Software Engineer 2 @ Pelco Jan 2006 – Jan 2008 • Developed an event arbiter based on GENA for event subscription and notify. The event notification object is implemented in Visual C++ 2005/MFC sends events over TCP/IP or UDP sockets. • Responsible for development of X-Portal, a multi-threaded COM object. This object was implemented with C++, STL in VS 2005. X-Portal is a video stream rendering object to various Pelco hardware such as the camera, network recorder etc. • Designed and implemented a TCP server for client server communications. ### Software Programmer @ DataWorks Educational Research Jan 2003 – Jan 2006 • Responsible for Palm Application Development for remote data collection on Palm OS (Code Warrior Development studio, Mobile VB and PDB), conduit development in VB 6.0 for data transfer, along with secure Web Interface for displaying reports and raw data. • Responsible for Web Application Development using PHP, JavaScript, MYSQL and Apache on Linux platform for data collection, report generation, document management and scheduling. • Responsible for Application Development using Visual Basic and MYSQL for creating an internal application for image collection and management. ## Education ### BS in Computer Science California State University, Fresno ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/jatinghia - Portfolio: http://www.jdwire.com --- Source: https://flows.cv/jatinghia JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/jatinghia/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-12
