Project History
FECIC Learning Platform
I participated in the development of an internal e-learning platform on the base of Symfony FECIC. The learning process was aided by the use of questionnaires. These led to the certification of company workers.
AndorraFreeMarket
I directed four developers and participated in the migration from OsCommerce to Magento, as the front-end platform, and from VisualBasic to Symfony, as the product's administration panel.
I was in direct contact with the client and workers, especially forimplementingf the administration panel. I created a faster stock importing process that allowed one to add more stocks and sell this data as an additional service through the REST API.

Chicplace
I assisted in the creation of an eCommerce platform based on Symfony 2. I then adapted the eCommerce platform for Chicplace-a marketplace for unique products from charming shops in Spain, France, and Italy. The eCommerce base, which later evolved into the Elcodi open-source project http://elcodi.io/.
Newpsel
https://github.com/dpcat237/newpsel-webI created a cutting-edge Android app with related services to read and listen to text RSS feeds as music. Developed the REST API for a website, Android app, Chrome extension, and a website and Chrome extension for feeds management. This project is currently inactive. However, the code is available on GitHub.
Paymentsuite for Symfony
https://github.com/PaymentSuite/paymentsuiteI participated in the creation of a generic payment gateway for Symfony. It's an open-source product, which provides the easy implementation of payment gateways with events for payment stages. I developed integrations for Stripe, Google Wallet, and Authorize.Net.
