    Streaming Service Backend for Korean Meditech Company

    Objective: Create a robust technical ecosystem capable of handling IoT device connectivity, real-time streaming, and user-facing digital experiences.

    My Role: I started as the sole backend developer, creating the initial

    MVP with a Filament-based admin panel and WebSocket streaming in Laravel, later evolving it into a dedicated API backend. I defined

    domain models for organizations, programs, and devices, and implemented real-time streaming using WebSockets before migrating to a standalone MQTT server as requirements grew. I designed REST APIs for the host and client apps and the MQTT server, ensuring authentication and session validation. I managed device lifecycles, enforced access controls, and built endpoints for analytics dashboards. Developed a usage quota system using Redis TTL timers for B2C streaming limits. Created a Supervisor-managed daemon to terminate streams on expiration and added pause/​resume functionality. Integrated with subscription services to exempt paid users and collaborated on new features as the product evolved. As the product evolved, I collaborated with other developers to integrate new features and improvements.
