Mohamed Muaath Rifath
Software Engineer
Professional Summary
Software Engineer focused on shipping zero-to-one products. I build systems across distributed Go backends, AI-integrated frontends, and custom ESP32 firmware. I prioritize reliability in core infrastructure like identity and payments, building with security and scalability in mind to support product growth. My focus is on solving the technical challenges of early-stage development to ensure a stable foundation for the product.
Experience
Introspect Labs
Oct 2025 – Feb 2026Full Stack DeveloperRemote, Bengaluru, India
- •Architected the v1 backend for uyir.ai, migrating the identity layer from legacy OTP to Zitadel OIDC; implemented automatic JWT refresh and patched critical Next.js CVEs mid-deployment.
- •Engineered a reconnection-aware attendance tracking system for LiveKit video sessions using event-sourced audit logs and idempotency guards to handle webhook race conditions and network drops.
- •Built the full Next.js 15 frontend from scratch with custom Tiptap diff marks for inline AI editing, therapist dashboards, and a presigned S3 upload workflow for AI avatar training data.
- •Containerized the stack with Docker, set up self-hosted GitHub Actions CI/CD with Nginx reverse proxy, and migrated from SMTP to AWS SES for scalable transactional emails.
- •Optimized database performance via PostgreSQL schema design and Alembic migrations, supporting complex therapist-user scheduling and multi-tier subscription billing.
Projects
Sol, Open Distributed Smart Home & Agentic Orchestration Platform – Go 1.25, ESP32-S3, MQTT, LiveKit, MCP, TimescaleDB, MinIO, ZITADEL, mTLS
- •Architected a 4-tier agentic platform featuring a Go control plane and ESP32-S3 nodes, validated through hardware deployment with per-device X.509 mTLS security.
- •Engineered a 1.2s latency voice pipeline using on-device wake-word detection (WakeNet9), LiveKit WebRTC streaming, and Azure OpenAI Realtime API for agentic reasoning.
- •Hardened AI-to-hardware reliability via a pgvector/HNSW grounding layer that resolves natural language device references to UUIDs with sub-millisecond latency.
- •Developed a zero-install WebSerial provisioning flow for browser-based firmware flashing and OIDC device-code registration, eliminating the need for local IDEs.
- •Built a native MCP server with capability-based authorization, exposing a standard interface for external agents (OpenClaw, NemoClaw, Claude) to discover and actuate hardware.
Zylert, LLM-Orchestrated Notification Triage System – Kotlin, Android SDK 36, Room, Node.js, OpenAI/Mistral, Zod
- •Architected an Android-to-Node.js pipeline that intercepts and triages push notifications in real time using LLM-backed semantic classification.
- •Hardened LLM output reliability using strict Zod validation and fallbacks to handle malformed payloads and ensure 99% parsing accuracy.
- •Engineered a priority routing system that surfaces critical human messages while compressing low-value automated noise via conversational querying.
Threble, Open-Source Social Network – Next.js 15, TypeScript, NextAuth, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Redux/RTK, Azure Blob
- •Developed an open-source social platform featuring a LinkedIn-style graph with connection requests, mutual-connection lookups, and community roles.
- •Implemented route protection with NextAuth, Prisma/PostgreSQL persistence, and responsive UI with mobile-aware notification flows.
