Experience

Hiring Assessment Platform - Toptal

A product that helps companies identify creative and technical talent. Developed with React, the product allows assessing potential hires in a high-security virtual environment. I developed the UI for the MVP of this Canadian startup.

A complex web-based React application that allows users to design a web application visually with the help of Canvas and then export it as a ready-to-use React web application. I was in charge of research and development for the product that was added to the wide spectrum of solutions provided by the client.

Lori

An application for creating engaging and optimized images for social media quickly. It is offered as a browser extension built with Vue and Fabric (Canvas). I've created this product to optimize the time it took me to create social media marketing assets for my other side project. The application features include a design tool, photo editing tool, cloud storage, and stock photos integration. The application is launching soon, but I'd be happy to show a sneak peek.

Obleci.me

A charity platform I've built in React for helping homeless people and people in need. By creating ads, the people who would like to donate clothes or food are connected indirectly with the people in need so they can pick up the donation at a certain location, supported by Google Maps API.
