Experience
Interactive Charts in Office
https://activegraf.com/After a thorough code review, my tasks were major refactors and modifications, including introducing NoSQL DB, ensuring completely offline functioning, and enhancing the installer. I reworked the communication between the components to be direct and predictable.
To introduce MacOS support, I designed and partly implemented the conversion to be cross-platform.
I got some ad hoc tasks, like introducing Git workflow and implementing a CI/CD pipeline. In 2019, I participated in the interview of two junior developers. After they applied, I became their mentor on the project.
Currently, my tasks are optimizing communication between the components and modifying the installation process to minimize the need for elevated privileges. Nowadays, I also troubleshoot with customers when they face technical problems on their side.
Mobile Applications for Sustainable Mobility
After that, I switched to full-stack development with ASP.NET Core and Xamarin.Forms. My most relevant contributions were organizing the work, converting customer needs to actual implementations, and managing the release processes for both Android and iOS. The size of the team on this project varied between two and four. In total, I oversaw four separate applications, and three of their back ends.
