From vehicle data to operational events

Conceptual flow of the work described here; an illustration, not a production architecture diagram.

Context

Real-time fleet management systems served 1,000+ active users and processed vehicle weight, position, and telemetry from 5,000+ trucks. This work supported visibility into vehicle operations and the detection of operational events.

My responsibility

I built backend and product capabilities, optimized Node.js services and database queries, and developed event-detection and anti-theft workflows. I also mentored junior engineers to strengthen team delivery.

Engineering approach

  • Build backend capabilities around vehicle weight, position, and telemetry data to support real-time fleet management.
  • Optimize Node.js services and database queries to improve responsiveness during peak workloads.
  • Develop event-detection and anti-theft workflows, alongside better handling of large operational datasets.

Outcome

API response times were reduced by 30% during peak workloads. The fleet management systems served 1,000+ active users and processed telemetry from 5,000+ trucks.
