Experience
- WiseCodehttps://wisecode.io/
A nutritional guide PWA that helps users count their daily calories, create meals, and eat the leftovers.
I joined and led a big team that developed this app along with several behind-the-scene apps and portals for collecting the nutritional database. I also worked on much of its front-end and back-end microservice pieces. - Goyasiteshttps://goyasites.com/
I developed an eCommerce application, like Shopify, which allows clients to create their online store by registering online and entering all their product information through our admin portal. Also, they can choose a UI theme for their store, request a customized theme for their client's portal, and specify which features they require in their online store.
- SmartAssethttps://www.smartasset.com.au
I developed a B2B service that allows a client to manage all his company's assets through a portal with different access levels for all their employees, filter through their assets, check in on them by location on the map, create/respond to job requests needed to be done on assets, and so on.
- Bank Budgeting Apphttps://blankft-teaser-app.firebaseapp.com/
I created a youth-oriented bank budgeting tool, which was built as a single-page web app. We made the app to be mobile-friendly, and it features a five-year plan tool that takes into account all financial aspects of the client and decides which goals he can reach in the coming years through a chart.
