I designed and led the development of oneIoTa (http://www.oneIoTa.org), the first web-based IDE for crowd-sourcing the Internet of Things. I also made several contributions to the OCF architecture including the common data model and the XMPP-based remote access approach. Key Accomplishments: • Augmented, maintained, and provided training on tool applications by leading designing and upgrading of technical solutions. • Achieved approval of newly proposed models as committee member and developed open data model standard for IoT while attaining certification of a new international standard and integrating as a reference with other standards. • Served as principal designer and manager of the oneIoTa.org online tool, utilized as open-source tool to simplify the design, validation and governance of open-source data models for IoT. • Worked as principal designer and manager of the OCF Onboarding Tool and Generic Client (OTGC). This tool (on Android and Linux) provided secure onboarding of any OCF device, monitored all inputs and control of all outputs on that device, and used by hundreds of international companies designing products based on the OCF standard. • Enabled developers in attaining knowledge of product development techniques with OCF standards by organizing hackathon events for product development contests through OCF techniques and solutions. • Partnered with 400 companies with OCF Standards by representing OCF in public venues and conferences, encompassing papers, presentations, press advents, workshops, and booth demos across globe. • Developed initial tool set to enrich IoT software development by implementing interoperable international protocols.
