Work Experience
Freelance Developer
2016 - PRESENT
D&L Serviss (via Toptal, Multiple Engagements)
- Developed the front-end of a project using Angular and extensive use of a Chart.js library (to create a different type of data visualization) and OAuth 2 for platform authorization. The main requirements of the project were to create an admin panel with the possibility of performing all CRUD operations.
- Created a custom CMS so that end users could use the CMS to create a website just by writing JSON objects. Angular was used to build the project. Angular Material Design was used to build the UI part of the app. GraphQL was used extensively within the project.
- Worked as a full-stack developer to create an IoT system that allows one to plot, view, control, and configure different types of IoT devices. The back-end stack of the project was Node.js and Cassandra was used for the database. The front-end was built using Angular. This project included extensive use of Google Maps for plotting and displaying different devices on the map. Additionally, Chart.js was used for dynamically creating charts and visualizing the data for the devices. Finally, a custom floorplan library was developed specifically for the project. Mobile applications (for iOS and Android) were also created using the Ionic framework, that reflects the web application functionality. Socket.IO was used to communicate between all of the systems.
- Created a custom web application, for organizing auctions. The platform was built using Angular and included extensive use of Chart.js and complex mathematical operations for the calculations. Multiple extensions were created for Chart.js for the project needs, one of which allows users to drag and drop points on the plot and to add and edit existing points. Along with Chart.js library, also D3.js library was used to create complex charts for data visualizations.
- Created, as a full-stack developer, a custom WordPress plugin which allows the creation of pages (consisting of sections and charts that are dynamically created based on the information that is added to the page configuration when it's created). I made extensive use of Chart.js library. The front-end part was written in JavaScript and the back-end was written with PHP.

Experience
S/4HANA Project
I developed standard S/4HANA Fiori applications using SAPUI5 and OData services.
Groovit
I worked on a startup as a full-stack developer, as well as, co-owner. It mainly involved the creation of a virtual jukebox system called Groovit. Groovit is a system that enables users to set up Groovit on top of their Spotify account and create a virtual jukebox system. They can also choose various types of playlists from which end users can order songs. Finally, end users can connect to the virtual jukebox and order songs which are automatically added to the queue and played.
I built the front-end part of the virtual jukebox system with Angular. For the API, Express.js library was used along with PostgreSQL. The API extensively communicated with Spotify using the Spotify API; the requests involved retrieval of playlists, retrieval of song details as well as requests for managing a currently playing song. Finally, the end users' mobile application was created with Ionic; Socket.IO was implemented to allow real-time communication between all of the platforms.

ngx-svg
I worked on an Angular 4+ module which allows a user to create SVG objects easily. The module was developed on SVG.js library. It allows the easy creation and customization of SVG objects like lines, rectangles, circles, ellipses, polylines, and more.
