RealTimeID
RealTimeID is an end-to-end precision livestock management platform designed to revolutionize animal tracking from birth to fork. Using lightweight smart ear tags and a scalable cloud architecture, the platform enables real-time monitoring of animal identity, welfare, movements, and logistics. It currently supports 2 lakh+ animals in production. I owned the full lifecycle of development across web, mobile, backend, and deployment, and authored the system’s High-Level Design (HLD) and end-to-end system flow diagrams.

Product Vision & Impact
- •All-in-one lightweight smart ear tags enabling real-time communication and monitoring.
- •Tracks each animal from birth to fork, improving animal welfare and food safety.
- •Automates regulatory documentation through continuous identity, welfare, and movement tracking.
- •Reduces labor costs while improving operational efficiency for farmers.
- •Delivers high ROI and supports compliance with regional and industry regulations.
Mobile Applications (React Native)
- •Built the Farmer App and Gateway App from scratch.
- •Implemented BLE scanning, allowing mobile devices to function as gateway receivers for ear tag telemetry.
- •Designed an offline-first architecture with local persistence and automatic cloud synchronization.
- •Integrated real-time map tracking with live location updates using Socket.io.
- •Developed custom geofencing with safe and danger zones, including background tracking support.
- •Enabled gateway applications to operate reliably in the background for uninterrupted data ingestion.
Web Applications
Led frontend development for:
- •Farmer/User Panel (React) with real-time animal tracking, maps, and geofencing visualization.
- •Admin Dashboard (React) for operational control, configuration, and monitoring.
- •E-commerce portal built on Shopify for managing devices, subscriptions, and services.
- •Implemented live web-based maps with geofence overlays and real-time updates.
- •Designed scalable UI architecture and mentored junior developers on best practices.
Backend Architecture & Microservices
- •Designed and implemented a microservices-based backend architecture supporting real-time telemetry at scale.
- •Implemented gRPC-based inter-service communication for low-latency, strongly-typed service-to-service calls.
- •Built and contributed to multiple domain-driven services including:
- •• Animal & Identity Management Services
- •• Telemetry Ingestion & Tracking Services
- •• Geofencing & Anomaly Detection Services
- •• Notification & Subscription Services
- •• Logistics, Inventory, and Order Management Services
- •• Analytics & Reporting Services
- •System currently consists of 25+ independently deployable backend services.
- •Implemented event-driven communication using RabbitMQ and Pub/Sub for high-throughput processing.
- •Optimized MongoDB and RDS schemas to support real-time workloads for 2 lakh+ animals.
- •Used Redis for caching, rate-limiting, and performance optimization.
- •Applied strict schema validation and data contracts using Zod.
Desktop Application
- •Developed a logistics and operations desktop application using Electron.js.
- •Enabled internal teams to manage devices, shipments, and operational workflows efficiently.
Deployment, DevOps & Documentation
- •Managed AWS-based production deployments and environment configurations.
- •Integrated Firebase for real-time updates and notification workflows.
- •Implemented CI/CD pipelines using Git and GitLab.
- •Authored and maintained High-Level Design (HLD) documents and system flow diagrams.
- •Ensured secure, scalable, and highly available system architecture.
Work in Progress
- •Advanced analytics, behavior insights, and pattern recognition capabilities.
- •Further optimization of tracking accuracy and system scalability.
