Open-Screenshot Chrome Extension

I developed an open-source extension for Google Chrome that was downloaded by millions of users. I created the back-end that handles sharing and storing images and credentials. The most amazing thing was the custom-made easy to use image editor that is based on HTML5 Canvas.

I integrated the platform with many external tools so users were able to share easily. It was connected to Evernote, DropBox, Facebook, VK, Drive, and others.

GiftWizard - The Perfect Gifting solution

https://apps.shopify.com/giftwizard
As a full-stack developer, I created an exciting B2B2C product that helps users to buy gifts for their friends on thousands of eCommerce websites.

The most challenging mission was how to build a plugin that will work in a one-click installation on any website.

I designed an algorithm that understands the page structure and integrates into it seamlessly.

The next step was to create a deep-learning algorithm that recommends the best gifting item based on the event, the chosen gift receiver, and the shop stock.

We used Node.js with Facebook APIs to obtain user details and to create the match.
