I joined the team on this project one year after the development started. I was involved initially in performance tuning, especially in the data access layer, where I managed to get an overall time reduction of about 60% for the most used queries in the platform.

The platform's goal is to offer soft-proofing solutions for customers, helping them reduce losses by inefficient or wrong printing.

From a technical perspective, the project was very challenging. I had to learn a lot about color theory and color profiles, but at the same time, it was very exciting, and I liked learning all those new things.

As part of this project, I also developed a high-performance rendering engine for Images and PDFs written in C++ to allow fast conversion between color spaces and various user-defined profiles.

The platform itself was designed using ASP.NET on the back end with SQL Server for data persistence and Angular on the front end.

The platform was hosted on AWS. We had a full CI lifecycle with static code analyses steps and code coverage that added a lot of reliability when releasing something new.

A web-based application for managing fleets of vehicles for one of the biggest companies in the world in this industry. My team developed a web portal for end customers to log in and check the state of their fleet in real-time.

I was involved in splitting this monolith application into multiple distributed microservices, following domain-driven design tactics. This resulted in a more scalable and cost-effective platform because we could scale the "hot-paths" of the system separately only when needed, reducing the overall hosting and computing costs.

Also, as part of the process, I migrated the UI from AngularJS to the new Angular framework while keeping the same look and feel for the end-users.

Using the new Angular framework, this migration also brought some performance benefits out of the box. Still, it also helped reduce the complexity of the codebase and its overall size.

The new microservices were developed using .NET Core and service buses for the overall system communication from a technical perspective.

This was one of my favorite projects because I was involved in all the development phases required to migrate from a monolith to a microservice distributed system.

The project was a web application for a quote and billing platform for a water retail company. I joined the project six months after development started and helped it grow over 100% per year. The application was intended for brokers to generate quotes for customers with various rules and bonuses quickly, and there was also a billing generation part for customers.

The application was developed in .NET with React and hosted in Azure. We also provided APIs for external parties to generate quotes using our platform and integrate this process into their system.

Took part in the design, architecture, and development of a tender platform for the construction industry to facilitate communication and streamline the entire tender process between suppliers and clients in various construction projects. The platform was a real-time web application where tenders could be viewed and compared, making sure clients could make fast and sound decisions. At the same time, suppliers could easily submit their tenders to multiple and various clients with prompt feedback and response.

Developed a bespoke integration service solution in Azure for an existing Insurance platform assuring integration with various external services like fraud detection, credit line verification, red flag checking, etc. The integration solution was designed to be generic and reusable across all companies for other products that may also suit this integration.

Develop a new fintech platform for a known bank in Europe based on ML to offer customers automated credit loans without human interaction. It is based on a scoring profile computed automatically and supported by various rules and AI algorithms.
