• Developed a BLE gateway to collect data from up to 150 sensor nodes and transmit it to an AWS server.
• Optimised BLE scanning and connection intervals, achieving ~25–30% reduction in power consumption on sensor nodes.
• Parsed and forwarded sensor data from BLE nodes → gateway → AWS with ~30–40% improvement in data reliability.
• Used ESP32-C6 via AT commands for Wi-Fi and cloud communication, enabling remote configuration updates without firmware reflashing.
• Designed and developed an industrial temperature–humidity sensing probe
• Integrated PT100 and SHT45 sensors with 0.1 resolution for temperature and humidity
• Provided dual output: analogue and digital (RS485 Modbus RTU)
• Developed low-power firmware with CRC error checking for reliable industrial operation
