Case Studies
Longer write-ups on things I've built. The problems, the decisions, the outcomes.
Smart Irrigation System — Camfor
Problem: TBD — describe the challenge.
Approach: TBD — what you built and why.
Outcome: TBD — results, metrics, what shipped.
Write as much or as little as you want here — architecture diagrams, code snippets, lessons learned. This is your space.
LoRa-MQTT Gateway in Elixir
Problem: IoT gateways face high traffic loads and need to handle many concurrent processes reliably. Conventional languages handle this, but functional programming promises better concurrency and reliability.
Approach: Built the same LoRa-MQTT gateway in both Elixir and C++. Tested on a single-board computer first, then ported to ESP32 microcontrollers. Compared performance, code size, and reliability. Published findings across two papers (ITNAC 2023, MDPI Electronics 2024).
Outcome: The Elixir version was more compact and handled concurrency naturally — but performance on ESP32 was significantly worse than C++. The supporting libraries and Erlang VM on embedded hardware aren't there yet. Conclusion: functional programming has real potential for IoT, but the ecosystem needs to catch up.
