- ReviewMaiden - NLP and Analytics (Development)https://www.reviewmaiden.com
ReviewMaiden aims to help different business locations (including brick and mortar stores) to know their reputation online. The platform helps you get all your reviews from different social media into one place and ensure you get insights based on those reviews to know what customers are liking/disliking about your products and services.
The core features of the application that I worked on include:
1. Using the NLP to analyze sentiments in the reviews and identify the keywords related to those reviews
2. Using Elasticsearch to identify trending keywords
3. Display analytics information based on location, time frame, review types and much more in concise Highcharts graphs.
4. Optimizing the application to ensure the application can scale - Chipotle Mexican Grill (Development)http://chipotle.com
Chipotle is a billion-dollar Mexican food chain company. I worked on developing a CMS solution for the company which is responsible for launching multiple websites for the company in multiple countries. The platform enables Chipotle to create a site, add various components that define the UI of the website using a live editor and later publish them on the web.

Sebamed is the market leader for scientific skincare and body cleansing products in Germany and is sold in over 85 countries. I worked with the sole distributor of Sebamed in the USA to launch an eCommerce solution using Spree. In addition, I have worked on adding multiple features on the website. Some of them include adding advanced search using Elasticsearch, up-selling and cross-selling using customer purchase history, enabling advanced SEO by following Google Best Practices, import/export products and other information using excel, monthly order summary report, and more.
- Healthengine (Development)http://app.healthengine.com
Healthengine is a healthcare startup focusing on reducing the cost of health procedures for the users. I worked on the migration of their core app from Azure to AWS and enabling maintenance on the project. Also worked on integrating a new API for the project to retire the existing scraper for the project.
