PROFILE
Brian Nguyen
Brian Nguyen contributed to the UCSolarCarTeam/Helios-Telemetry repository by building scalable telemetry data storage and retrieval features using AWS DynamoDB, Node.js, and TypeScript. He refactored backend data access to leverage QueryCommand with indexed queries, reducing latency and improving dashboard accuracy. Brian modernized the frontend stack by upgrading to Next.js 15 and React 19, optimizing build pipelines for faster Vercel deployments. He addressed data correctness by ensuring telemetry timestamps were generated accurately and resolved critical bugs in date-range queries. His work emphasized maintainability, code quality, and developer productivity, demonstrating depth in backend optimization, cloud infrastructure, and modern JavaScript frameworks.

May 1, 2025May 2025: Delivered performance and data correctness improvements for Helios-Telemetry in UCSolarCarTeam. Refactored DynamoDB data access to use QueryCommand with proper index conditions, replacing ScanCommand and reducing latency for telemetry data retrieval. Fixed data correctness by ensuring fake telemetry timestamps are generated in seconds. Resolved critical data-access bugs for date-range and packet retrieval (scanPacketDataBetweenDates and getPacketData), aligning behavior with expected API contracts (#229). Outcomes: faster, more reliable telemetry analytics and improved trust in dashboard data.
