A web-based platform written in Kotlin and Java for designing data routes, APIs, and services in a visual builder following enterprise integration patterns (EIP), then deploying the artifacts to a multitenant Kubernetes environment and streaming runtime data back to the client's browser.

Ridesharing Service | Fasten

I developed a commercial ridesharing service which connected drivers and passengers. The serviced was aimed for the US market so it was necessary to integrate it with local payment providers. Its main competitors are Uber, Lyft, etc. The application is modular and scalable with a service-oriented design. I designed and implemented the billing functionality, the gateways for integration with payment providers, and some essential business logic.

US Electional Analytics Portal

I created the application store from scratch and supplied it with administrative tools.

docIO ECM

I designed and developed a task management system with an embedded document storage. Its main purpose was to store documents along with their version history and to attach them to manageable typed tasks.
