Problem

Mantis combined robotics, RGB and thermal imaging, cloud services, and field operators across distributed agricultural sites. Networks disappear, devices enter inconsistent states, and remote operators still need a safe recovery path.

My role

As a Software Engineer and Solution Architect at Adaviv, an MIT spinoff, I carried work from operational requirements through implementation, deployment, diagnosis, and recovery.

System ownership

  • Python and Flask APIs for device control and state-driven camera workflows
  • RGB and thermal capture, streaming, and AWS-backed media handling
  • Structured logging, remote diagnostics, and recovery paths for unattended hardware
  • React Native features for live feeds, QR scanning, geotagging, uploads, and reports

Outcome

Backend workflow improvements reduced latency by approximately 30% and supported production uptime. The implementation is private, so this page describes responsibilities and system boundaries without exposing proprietary details.
