Francisco Clariá

I co-founded and developed a suite for large, multi-branch companies to help track time and location, digitize information, exchange photos and signatures, assign tasks and routes, supervise teams, unify communication channels, and more. The back end is developed with an MVC framework and an API in PHP and MySQL. The admin panel uses HTML5 and Angular, and three apps that I fully developed for time control, team tracking, and supervisor monitoring, all of which were built using Ionic. The service also connects with the Amazon S3 API to sync and back up information and other parties, such as face recognition systems.

Developed the back end, admin panel, and apps on both iOS and Android (Ionic) for the most important nightclub in Córdoba where members can register, make purchases during the night, earn points, exchange points, get benefits, upgrade their membership status from silver to black, get notified for upcoming events, send their request to participate, and much more. Also analyzed and developed the system to prevent fraud and errors associated with the dispatch of drinks during the night, which helped cut costs and reduce loses.

The Open Weather Station (OWS) is a do-it-yourself weather station solution that aims to be affordable, stable, easy to build, and tested in the wild. Measure, monitor, store months of data, and send it to your server as well as Wunderground, Thingspeak, Windguru, or OpenWeatherMap via wifi or GPRS, GSM, and 4G. It evolved from other approaches I've been testing and using in the field since late 2012 to this day.

I was the founder and developer of a full solution, built with PHP and MySQL, featuring an API that integrates all layers with two Ionic apps. One app is managed by a "Guard" who receives the emergency call and dispatches the alert to the volunteers who have another app that processes the alert, wakes up the mobile phone, puts the volume all the way up, and plays a customizable sound. Then, the volunteer can respond to inform the organization whether they will participate or not. Alerts are "pushed" to the devices, but are also sent via SMS directly from the Guard device to ensure that offline devices will also receive the alert. In turn, those offline (or old) devices can respond via SMS too, and the Guard app processes the incoming message as well.

I implemented a remote weather station to log wind speed and wind angle for a kitesurfing website app using an Arduino (C code) that reports weather to a PHP service.

All the data is plotted using pCharts and Ajax in a CakePHP environment.

I developed a PWA web admin using Angular and Ionic frameworks for one of the biggest online car sites in USA. I created a multi-site admin panel where over 15 sites get managed from a simplified interface and information about promotional cars and specials, information is generated and distributed in real time. I used Laravel to implement a back-end API and MySQL as the DB engine to support data storage.

I developed a Java desktop app to enroll employees using their fingerprint (feature template extraction). I also developed an online web app where HR admins can manage all the information and view/download reports (PDF, Excel).

The system is currently being used by several companies, one of them with more than 2,000 employees enrolled in several branches.
