CarGO
The back end was developed using two APIs. One is the ASP.NET API for handling dispatchers and bookings, and the second API is a performant serverless Azure Function API for handling advertisements and truck events.
The front end was developed using Angular.
The highlight of this app development was the integration of Google Maps for truck tracking and a robust validation system to include multiple transportation models.
As a full-stack engineer, besides feature design and development, I analyzed all the systems regarding security, performance, and maintainability. I also improved the architecture of the whole application for better maintainability.
Visma Payroll
I concentrated my focus on developing a custom SQL generator that created appropriate queries based on the user interface. A notable project achievement was when I split the application to fit the domain logic better and for ease of management of other teams from a different AWS cloud account.
Yara Global Trace
As a full-stack developer, I migrated the app from POC to MVC, improving and optimizing functionality. On the front end, I built a dashboard where bag quantities and clients could be tracked alongside a Grafana dashboard for cloud capabilities.
I also created a unified data layer that reduced code by about 30% and implemented a unified deployment that ensured code robustness.
