Experience

BonsaiERP (Development)
BonsaiERP is a simple open source ERP system that allows users to control their incomes and expenses and also to relate them with accounts and inventories in a simple way. The interface is really intuitive and it's very easy to use the complete ERP system. The source code is at https://github.com/boriscy/bonsaiERP.
Energent GROUP (Development)
http://app.energentgroup.com/
I developed this information system for oil and gas operators in the US that uses geolocalization to show operations and presents many graphs using D3. This project uses AngularJS and Google Maps API heavily for many parts of the system as well as MongoDB and PostgreSQL to store data.
Seema (Development)
http://seema.de
Seema.de presents a list of beverage machines with categories that allow them to ask for prices. When they ask a price, they start a workflow that admins can control until the machine is sold to the customer. This site is also integrated with Salesforce API. The Rails part is a REST API and Salesforce is linked to program modules using APEX.
Rojas Lawfirm (Development)
This is a very simple site made with RefineryCMS. I implemented customizations on the menus and for some parties for the multi-language. The design is simple as per client specifications.
Stockpilot (Development)
This is a multi-user CRM for machines. This project is an improved multi-tenant version of seema.de, but the client eventually stopped development to move to Salesforce.

Elixir, with its simple and clean syntax, makes building scalable and maintainable concurrent applications a breeze. Ecto is a database wrapper that lives up to the high expectations set by Elixir's reputation. Its domain-specific language provides a pleasant way to interact with databases and build fault-tolerant, concurrent applications in Elixir with ease. In this article, Toptal Freelance Software Engineer Boris Barroso walks us through Ecto and its four main components: Repo, Schema, Changeset and Query.
