Project History
Outfit.io | A Brand and Marketing Automation Platform
I developed many great features fully from the front-end using React to back-end using Rails, Node.js, and Go. I also implemented a lot of integrations for the platform such as SAML SSO, Salesforce, and Asset Bank. Moreover, I relentlessly researched and advised on technologies and software designs to the development team.
Agency Revolution | Communication Platforms and Marketing Tools for Insurance Marketers
I was in charge of working closely with the vice president of product to develop many Node.js and Go microservices to handle the complicated logic of the platform. Therefore, I spent time carefully writing many unit tests and integration tests to secure the logic. I also worked on the front-end to build elegant features using React. We also held many sessions to brainstorm the UI and UX for the ideas.
CJayNet | A SaaS for Managing Container Maintenance and Repair Services in Depots
I was in charge of managing and developing the full-stack from the back-end (Django on App Engine) to the front-end (SPA with AngularJS). I also designed a microservice architecture which helps to scale and run smoothly with over 20,000 reported items per day.
Lifebox Daily | A SaaS Product for Efficient Daily Scrum Standup
I led the development team and tried to make our first SaaS startup product called Lifebox Daily which is a daily standup scrum system for teams via email and web. I chose the Django framework as the back-end and used AngularJS for building the SPA on the web's front-end. I also created a hook to listen and parse email from clients to automatically add standup reports to Lifebox Daily.
