Frontend at SocialCops is exciting because we're building interfaces for everyone from small NGOs to the world's largest companies. Yesterday I was working on a dashboard for the Government of India, and today I’m building tools for professional analysts.

Building apps for the next billion users? Making sure that language is not a barrier? Figuring out how to make sure users always have the latest app? These are the questions our Mobile Team asks and solves at SocialCops.
Mobile Engineer
Here at SocialCops, we're constantly solving scaling problems — just last year, 99k people completed 6 million surveys on our app. Writing code is easy but optimizing, huh! It's tough. I'm so glad to be part of solving this challenge.
Data Engineer
In 3 years, we went from 0 to 100,000+ users across the world, who rely on our data collection tool every day. That's why a solid, scalable infrastructure is crucial. We even built our infrastructure from scratch to make sure it could scale up with our users.

We want data access to move beyond dashboards and visualizations. We connected Amazon Alexa to our internal product APIs to answer natural queries like "How many people signed up yesterday?" in real time.
PDFs aren't editable, which is good for resumes but terrible for open government data. We built an in-house tool to extract tabular data from PDFs and store it in structured formats like CSV, Excel, and JSON.
Internet is often a problem in global markets. We used peer-to-peer sync technologies and the nanoHTTPD library to sync our data collection app offline by transferring forms from one device to another.
Many data collection projects rely heavily on images, but we found that 40% of images captured on our data collection app weren't well lit. Before users even asked for it, we built a feature to detect and warn them about dark images.
Tailing MongoDB's operation logs helped us sync our primary (MongoDB) and secondary (Elasticsearch) data stores, which helps power faster search along with better analytics and visualizations on top of Elasticsearch.
The government tracked new gas connections on our app. They needed to scalably check safety standards. Using machine learning, we built an automated system to scan images and detect if stoves were installed above the gas cylinders.
Weekends are for hosting fellow engineers and tech enthusiasts at SocialCops HQ. We collaborate with multiple tech groups to run and speak at meetups about the latest technology from across the world.
From AMAs with the Managing Director of Google APAC, Teach on Tuesdays, engineering community events, a fully stocked office library, and clear professional growth paths, we do everything we can to help our team reach their full potential.
