Experience

SALTR – Web Application for App and Game Personalization and Monetization

A Java-based enterprise web application for game designers and developers. I was the director of back-end development. I led the design and implementation of a lot of features like version-based import and export of all data. I added the potential for migration to the application and implemented split testing and segmentation for different groups of people based on their gender, age, location, and a lot of other criteria. I was responsible for release management, and I performed code reviews of other developers and improved the performance of the whole application.

Mobile Versions of Lycos Dating

I created various Lycos Dating mobile applications for different mobile content providers over Europe. I upgraded the business logic of the existing application to use a new added layer into a web dating application, and I created tests for verifying application state daily bases.
