For Azeem Azhar's Exponential View, I have implemented the custom design for their Ghost.io–based blog. This involved using the Ghost APIs, HTML/CSS coding, and integrating external tools, like search engines and comments through Disqus.

The newsletter was later migrated to Substack, and the version that I have created is no longer active.

Sarine identifies itself as "the world's 1st AI-based diamond lab." They can track the entire lifecycle of the diamond, evaluate its potential, and issue the digital certificate of authenticity.

For their website, in collaboration with their design team, I developed the immersive 3D experience, demonstrating the evolution of the diamond, from a hot rock in the Earth's core to an uncut stone, to a perfect shape you purchase from the jeweler's store.

This was also an excellent opportunity for me to work with Svelte, Three.js, and glTF format, bringing 3D scenes directly to the browser.

For Protorisk, I have created an interactive in-browser trading simulation/education tool. It would let the users select the instruments, configure their properties, and see their performance over time with the tables and charts.

I developed this splash screen animation—a fun experiment with DOM-based drawing—for my digital CV.

It uses the actual DOM elements to emulate the old-style LCD screen dots, complete with the scrolling effect and the trace animations reminiscent of how the actual liquid crystals used to work.

When working as a mixture of project manager and team lead for Buildsite, an established US company specializing in the construction industry automation, I was puzzled by the request to look for a solution to the popular user request of being able to annotate the PDFs from the browser, and without installing any costly software.

This was back in 2011, when IE6 was still a thing, and it didn't even support SVG.

Rather than just coming up with the idea, I have created a fully working prototype based on open-source software and operational without any browser plugins. Annotations were SVG, and the PDF document was prepared on the server and later rebuilt with the annotations as watermarks.

When Balena.io (back in the day Resion.io) was an early-stage startup, I led the creation of a new website that was simple and fast.

The site was served as a static site (generated with Wintersmith static site generator), serving as much HTML and little JavaScript as possible, and coded with Bootstrap (and a bunch of custom CSS on top of it), Less, jQuery, custom micro-directives implementation (a one-off micro-framework created specifically for the task), and the Nunjucks templating language.

As a full-stack engineer at Resin.io (later renamed to balena.io), I maintained and evolved the main user-facing element of the stack—the fleet monitoring and management dashboard.

Back then, the app was an AngularJS (1.5) SPA with Less and Bootstrap for styling.

When actively working with MongoDB for one of the projects, and for the lack of any robust and feature-rich migrations framework, I have created an npm module creatively named "Mongodb-migrations."

It's an OSS project published to npm, with both programmatic API and the CLI.

Note: not actively maintained.

This fun little experiment parses the PNG image in the browser and creates a simple yet catchy experience, often catching attention. Try yourself and reveal the hidden picture by moving your mouse pointer.

Tranio is a real estate broker and search engine.
In 2011, I worked on a special promo page for it, featuring the real estate objects purchased by celebrities. The focus was on the powerful design and featured testimonials.

Tranio.ru is a real estate broker and search engine.
In 2014, I worked on a special iPad-friendly, responsive version of the site. It was a complete rewrite, talking to the same API as the main site.
