Backend Engineer | IoT Fleet & Systems Infrastructure (Go)

Hi, I'm Kunal — a Backend Engineer with 5 years of experience building scalable systems and APIs in Golang, Python, and JavaScript. My recent focus is IoT fleet infrastructure: telemetry pipelines, NAT-traversal tunneling, live video streaming, and OTA update systems for fleets of embedded Linux devices (Raspberry Pi, Jetson). I publish reusable Go modules from this work and care about clear data flows, resilient networking, and observability over magic.

IoT Fleet Management Platform (Go)

A self-hosted "operations layer" for fleets of drone companion computers — and more broadly, any fleet of Linux IoT devices.

  • Live MAVLink telemetry streaming + fleet/device dashboard
  • WebRTC live video streaming from Raspberry Pi devices
  • Remote command execution, diagnostics & log access
  • Self-update (OTA) with SHA-256 verification
  • Reverse-tunnel relay for devices behind NAT/CGNAT
  • One-line installer scripts for zero-touch device provisioning

Open Source Go Modules

  • gowsrelay — a lightweight, self-hosted reverse-tunnel relay (a small ngrok/Tailscale-style relay for making behind-NAT devices reachable).

  • webrtcast — a WebRTC streaming toolkit for embedded Linux devices, used to stream live camera feeds from low-power hardware.
    github.com/KunalDuran/webrtcast
  • devstat — a cross-platform device stats library for Go (CPU, RAM, disk, temperature) used for fleet health monitoring.
