Time Supervisor

Founding Engineer & Team Lead

Time Supervisor India Pvt. Ltd. ↗
Core Team · 4th MemberFull-time

Founding engineer on a multi-platform SaaS product — leading development across web, desktop (Windows & macOS), and a silent MDM-deployable background agent, shipped to real end users end-to-end.

Web Dashboard
▹Designed & built scalable backend with Node.js, Express, Prisma, PostgreSQL & TimescaleDB for real-time data ingestion and analytics
▹Implemented JWT auth, RBAC with audit logging, and multi-tenant data protection across Admin, Manager, Superadmin & Employee roles
▹Built React dashboard with onboarding flows, org management, real-time analytics, and PDF/CSV export
▹Engineered native website tracking — eliminated browser extension dependency entirely
▹Contributed to CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions & Docker
Desktop App Windows & macOS
▹Engineered cross-platform desktop app with Rust + Tauri + React, shipping a single unified codebase to both Windows and macOS
▹Built activity tracking: keyboard/mouse signals, active window monitoring, and browser URL tracking — no extension required
▹Delivered OTA auto-update, offline sync, and native system integration for low-connectivity environments
▹Shipped all core features: time tracking, break management, screenshot capture, screen recording, manual time entry, and leave requests
Background Agent MDM / Zero-touch
▹Architected a silent headless daemon in Rust — runs as a LaunchDaemon on macOS and Windows SCM Service, zero user interaction after provisioning
▹Implemented MDM/zero-touch deployment via plist (macOS) & JSON (Windows) with automatic device enrollment on first launch
▹Built offline-first data pipeline that tracks without connectivity and batch-uploads on a 5-minute sync cycle
▹Shared core logic (activity tracking, screenshot, screen recording, blur mode) with the desktop app — eliminating code duplication
