Experience
Personio Marketing Website
Persion is Europe's leading HR software provider. I was one of the four software developers working on updating the marketing website to the new rebranded version. Additionally, I worked on implementing new features, fixing bugs, and improving the overall performance of the website.
Marketing Website for A Diaper Company
https://www.rascalsbaby.comA marketing website where the company advertised the range of diapers and cleaning wipes they offer and where you can buy them. The website was created with Next.js and Sanity. I was the lead developer in this project, developing most of the website, reviewing other developers' work, and maintaining constant communication with the client company.
Marketing Website for Getambassador
https://www.getambassador.io/This is a marketing website for Getambassador, where they advertise their product. The website was created with Remix and Sanity. The content is hosted on Sanity, a headless CMS, and pulled into the website on the Remix front-end. I was one of the main developers in the project and responsible for developing the majority of the website.
Web Application for A Fortnite Custom Maps Company
https://www.beyondcreative.gg/This was the first website I created working with Tinloof, and it was a marketing website for a company called Beyond Creative, which specializes in creating custom Fortnite maps. The website was created in Next.js and Sanity. I was the only developer on this project and developed the entire website from scratch, closely following a Figma design.
Demo Store for Tinloof
This is a demo store website for Tinloof to showcase an example of Shopify stores that the agency can create and deliver. The website was created with Remix and Sanity, as well as Shopify for store management. I was the only developer on this project and developed the entire website from scratch, according to the Figma design.
Online Puzzle Game
An online riddle/puzzle game I developed, using Angular for the front end and Firebase for the back end. The objective of the game is to think outside the box in order to correlate some clues and an image to find the correct answer. The game consists of 50 challenging levels. Upon completion, the player earns the right to add their name to the hall of fame.
Online Ordering Platform
An online ordering platform that includes search and filter features and provides a great user experience while ordering products online. I created the platform, using React with Redux for the front end and Laravel for the back end.
Computer Inventory Management System
An application that was developed to enable a computer lab to keep track of their equipment. I developed the back end with Express.js and the front end with Ionic, as well as the communication between them.
System Monitoring Application
This application allowed the user to monitor various system resources, such as memory and CPU usage, and to deploy custom monitors that were instructed to monitor certain users/actions and notify the admin. For example, the application could detect when an unauthorized file was read or when a delicate part of the system was modified. I developed this application using Python and Sysdig, and it was my final university project.
Daedalos | Reverse Engineering Application
A reverse engineering application that analyzes binary files and finds a list of vulnerabilities. It works by first parsing the binary file to extract information about the file. The binary file is then disassembled to convert the program to assembly language instructions. These instructions are then analyzed deeply, using a Python script to find vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows.
