Pekao Banking Platform

http://www.pekao24.pl
An Angular-based application for a new banking platform for one of the biggest Polish banks. As one of the first few people that worked on architecture, core modules, and components, I am responsible for the transactional part of the platform as well as providing help to other teams with my knowledge, experience, and code reviews.

Pekao Mobile App

An AngularJS web app written in TypeScript. It was a responsive web app designed for clients who use a smartphone to manage their bank account. The app was also wrapped in Cordova and published in Google and Apple App Store.

My responsibility in this project was to code views together with their very complicated banking business logic. I also sped up the web app by designing and developing the lazy loading of modules.

This project is no longer available due to its replacement by Pekao's new banking platform, which is fully responsive.

BlackUOut

A social application with a concept that I cannot publish. My role in this project was to find the best technologies and use them to implement the investor's idea. I chose C# with Xamarin.iOS to create a native app and PHP with Symfony to write REST API.

The application is currently in the friends and family test stage. I'll update a link once it's launched.

Fullstack Academy Website

http://www.fullstackacademy.com
This is the main website of Fullstack Academy, a top-ranked coding boot camp with campuses in NYC, Chicago, and online. Together with an international team, I added new features to the website as also refactored it to make it more responsive.

Mag Nation

http://www.magnation.com
A Shopify shop for a specialized magazine and giftware company. My task was to responsively cut and code the PSD layout and integrate it with Shopify using the Liquid language. This was one of the first Shopify layouts that I had a chance to develop using the BEM methodology.

Kontener

https://www.kontener.pl
A WordPress website for a maritime transport company. It has a calculator that communicates with the application written in PHP, Symfony, Doctrine, and Bootstrap; it was designed to manage destinations and pricing.
