Experience

LinkPay

I contributed to building the app using React for the front-end part and ASP.NET Core and C# for the back end, where it served as web app that enabled the client to generate a link and send it to the customer to pay the bill and it managed all the generated links and payment reports to be ready to use.

We used MS SQL Server for data storage, configured the CI on GitHub, and conducted deployment on premise.

Duello

The mobile app that enabled a duel between randomly chosen users based on a specific topic and I built a startup which I managed a small team, where we wrote the front part on React Native, the back end on ASP.NET Core with C#, and used SQL Server as data storage.

4Rest

This app is used to reserve tables, conference rooms, whole restaurants, etc. The end user can see free places and request to book them by adding their wishes to the reservation. Admins can send notifications to the end-users by creating a campaign.

Social App for the Trading Lovers

A social network whose members are people who have an interest in trading. The system was in the MVP stage, where the front end was written in React, and the back end was in ASP.NET Core—the same as the iOS and Android apps. I participated and consulted in various parts of the microservice architecture.

RESPONSIBILITIES
• Introduced Azure functions to make some logic in the serverless
• Fixed issues in the parser of social media like YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, news, etc.
• Used Azure Blob Storage, Azure Key Vault, and Azure Storage Queue to scale up the system, as well as Azure Functions to make it serverless.

Automation of Business Plans

A web app that helps business owners automate business plan generation. The front was written on Vue.js, back on Asp .Net Core 5.0. Managed a team of three people from the requirement to the release phase.

Payment Gateway

ASP.NET Core-based RESTful API is an adapter for payment systems like Stripe. It is used to add a payment method to the existing services in the microservice architecture. The solution contains customer-related API, identity API, payment API, webhook API, and aggregator API (gateway) services.

Repsly

An ASP.NET Core-based RESTful API which was called by the WebApp and mobile app. The system was written on microservice architecture, and as a Senior back-end developer, I helped the system to migrate some services from classic .net to the .net core, created .NET Core-based microservices from scratch, and wrote integration tests using contract testing (Pact.io)
