Software Engineer

Innobox Systems
10.2020 - Current

Client : Gryphon

Project Name : Hombound

Description : Homebound is a containerized application for X86_64 platform , typically deployed in the cloud. It extends parental control features beyond the local OpenWrt-based router. When a client device connected to the router moves out of local Wi-Fi range (i.e., roaming or switching networks), the Homebound application ensures continuity by connecting to Homebound cloud servers. These cloud servers run containerized services identical to those on the router, allowing seamless enforcement of parental controls and other monitoring features, even while the client is connected to different networks.

Roles and Responsibilities :

  • Designed and developed the overall architecture of the Homebound containerized solution for cloud-based parental control.
  • Managed and coordinated a team of 2 developers throughout the project lifecycle, including task delegation, code reviews, and sprint planning.
  • Integrated and tested the application across multiple platforms including Gryphon, Motorola, Nokia, and Adtran routers.
  • Developed and maintained containerized services for both router-side and cloud-side environments, ensuring consistent behavior across roaming scenarios.
  • Debugged complex networking and system-level issues, ensuring smooth client transition from local network to roaming without losing parental control enforcement.
  • Ensured stability and performance by conducting extensive end-to-end testing, including roaming simulation, container failover, and cloud connectivity.
  • Collaborated with QA and platform teams to validate functionality across different hardware and software environments.
