Experience

Tequila

This is the B2B project of Kiwi.com, a service that allows partners simple registration and managing their products connected to Kiwi.com. The clients can preview a report of the requested metrics for a selected period and compare their metrics to previous periods.

I was responsible for developing the functionality and UI of the project, as well as integrating a content Kentico Cloud CMS provider SDK and the Apigee API Proxy service.

Kiwi Widget

The Kiwi.com widget is an iframe project—it enables the Kiwi.com partners to embed a widget into their website that their customers can use to search and book flights easily. The project allows the partners—through various parameters—to customize the widget to in harmony with their own brand colors.

DUMP Days 2018 Application

As the lead software engineer for the conference, my job was to develop an application for both the organizers and the attendees. The attendees were able to log in with a custom QR code on their accreditation. By visiting the lectures, they could activate a unique code that was on the slides and enter the draft for the main prize. The other functionalities were to have a schedule with talks that could be saved, as well as a layout of the sponsors.

As for the organizer's side, they had a list of all attendees, a dashboard with the stats of the attendees, as well as an option to enter the attendees' data or import it from Eventbrite with a custom parser.
