I build Real-Time Systems
I design and ship the software industrial operations depend on: real-time telemetry, networked hardware control, and systems that keep working when the network does not. Five years, four production systems, ~3,000 commits.

Why hire Daniel Silva?
Measurable results in production systems, not demos.
Sole architect
Of 681 commits in the industrial hardware-control system: 5 years, 398 files, version 12 in real field use.
Offline operation
Offline-first ecosystem with bidirectional cloud↔local sync: the plant works with no internet and reconciles when it returns.
Technical founder
DropAudio CCS from zero to production: Nuxt 3 + Supabase, multi-currency checkout and 102+ verified reviews.
Systems in production
Four systems built in parallel over five years. Client work under confidentiality: I describe architecture and decisions, never business data.
Industrial IoT hardware control
Principal author and architectDesktop application to operate industrial inspection cameras from two networked machines in a coordinated way, with no technical support present in the field.
- 524 of 681 commits (77%)
- 398 files · 214k+ lines
- v12 in real field use
- Dual-PC architecture: the same executable relaunches itself and assumes its role (server or client) with zero manual setup by the operator.
- Chunked image transfer with reassembly and connection-drop handling; explicit timeouts at every network boundary so a powered-off camera never freezes the UI.
- Interactive maps with blitting on matplotlib embedded in Qt: smooth zoom and pan over live geometric data.
- Refactored from monolith to modular library without stopping delivery, with a pytest/pytest-qt suite and a versioned Windows installer.

Offline-first ecosystem
Principal author since day oneDesktop client that runs 100% offline on plant floors and syncs bidirectionally with the cloud whenever connectivity returns.
- ~250 commits
- ~845 files
- Self-contained installers
- Cloud↔local sync with per-endpoint state, connectivity detection and retries: zero lost work in the field.
- Python orchestrator that brings up a portable database, Node/TypeScript services and the API, all packaged in an installer that resolves its own dependencies.
- Custom AI audio transcription and synthesis pipeline (FastAPI/Uvicorn) integrated into the product.
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions, tests with configuration isolation and database connection pooling.

Industrial time-series analysis
Principal authorTool that automatically detects thermal cycles and key gradient points in sensor series, replacing manual spreadsheet analysis.
- CLI-parameterized pipeline
- JSON · Excel · PNG outputs
- Rust port exploration
- Peak and valley detection with SciPy over a smoothed signal, plus interpolation of faulty readings so detection never breaks.
- Polars-based processing, with the pipeline adapted to two source-format changes without a rewrite.
- Engineering-ready outputs: structured JSON per cycle, an Excel table and an annotated plot.
- Documented Rust rewrite exploration (calamine + polars), archived as reference.

Where has Daniel Silva worked?
Five years shipping software to production. The roles overlap by design: Ea2technology is a part-time contract, and alongside it I run independent consulting and my own product.
- Jul 2021 — Present
Lead Performance & Systems Engineer
Ea2technology · Canada · Remote · Part-time contract
- Designed and deployed an industrial Digital Twin telemetry system for real-time structural monitoring, processing high-frequency sensor data to anticipate critical failures.
- Designed a low-latency, full-duplex WebSocket architecture that replaced HTTP polling: from 200–500 ms to 1–10 ms and up to −95% bandwidth.
- Built a desktop application for coordinated remote control of industrial IoT hardware across networked machines, designed for zero-supervision operation under unreliable networks.
- Built an offline-first ecosystem with bidirectional sync, enabling 100%-offline operation and automatic reconciliation once connectivity is restored.
- Integrated an AI-based audio transcription and synthesis pipeline into the platform.
- Led the migration of legacy monoliths to cloud-native microservices on AWS, optimizing compute-intensive pipelines with C++ and Rust.
