Social Root Data

An app where you can get analyzed data from Instagram.
I helped the client to collect and analyze data from Instagram to find most influenced accounts in needed area (country, state, city). The app processes over 500 thousand daily media records and over 1 million accounts.

Auto Dealership Reporting Tool

A closed app for owners, managers, and sales people in auto dealerships. They can see all data about customers' visits and can get any analytics for any period of time.

Find the UPC for a Big US Retailer

The initial idea of the app is to find out product UPCs for a big US retailer. The app collects data from different sources (popshops.com, linksynergy, and directly from the designer's website), finds the same products, and detects the UPC from it. It uses Ruby on Rails to collect and show data along with Sidekiq to process requests in the background.

Fashion Widget

Widget for fashion bloggers. The owner of the blog can install the widget and earn money when the blog's visitor buys anything using the widget.

English Course School Website

A website with desktop, table, and phone (responsive) views. You can send a request and contact the company.
