Experience

Cancer Patient Journals | University of Miami

Developed a product for cancer patients to submit their daily routines through journals. Also, I integrated Firebolt APIs to monitor patients' daily activity and health.

Doctors utilize this system to create journals and assign them to specific patients. They can track patients' daily activities and generate or download comprehensive reports for further analysis and treatment planning.

Datacoral

https://www.datacoral.com/
Datacoral is designed to collect data from any source, automatically organize data transformations in Amazon Redshift, Athena, or Snowflake, and publish it into analytic, machine learning, and operational systems. It collects users' data from various warehouses, and users can quickly transform it into different warehouses. Users can also publish data to third-party apps.

Cauliflower Gifts & Cards

An eCommerce platform that offers customized gifts and cards. The admin manages the entire system, including the home page, users, products, categories, orders, promo codes, and delivery methods. On the other hand, users can customize the gifts and cards they want, manage their orders, and provide product reviews after ordering.

Elrin

https://elrin.ai/
Developed REST APIs using Django for an employee engagement and organizational growth platform. The platform enables organizations to send surveys, events, and loop emails to employees, collect feedback, and facilitate discussions via a suggestion box. Authorized users can manage and review questions, answers, and suggestions, while all functionalities are controlled through role-based access and user permission management.

The Skin Consult

A platform where users can book appointments for their skin treatment and purchase products. I used Vonage APIs to enable customers to hold appointments via a 45-minute video call, where an esthetician will suggest products appropriate for their skin. Customers can then purchase the products from the platform. The admin can manage their orders, cards, appointments, esthetician availability, and reviews.

Yelowsoft

https://yelowsoft.com/
An application where users can manage their profiles, book rides, and check the details of their rides. I created REST APIs using Django Rest frameworks. The admin manages the whole system, including assigning or unassigning a vehicle to the driver and the driver to their ride. The admin can also add coupons and discounts applied by users.
