Rebuilding Narrowcasting CMS

https://www.uw-s.nl/octocast
I was in charge of rebuilding the company's primary software product, a narrowcasting application with a React front-end, a CakePHP back-end, and an Electron desktop application that can be updated remotely. I was recruited to educate the in-house developers on React, test automation, and jointly recreate their 15-year-old monolith application.

Video Advertisement Matching and Distribution

Given my background in artificial intelligence, I was in charge of creating a matching model to match video messages and ads with over 1500 locations based on the location's tags, timely API data (e.g., weather), and demographics, including age and social class, and more.

Moreover, given the complexity of the matching model, automated tests were created to ensure correct matching in a continuous development environment.

Medical Professional Planning Application

A React-based application for scheduling medical professionals, including e-mail notifications, logging, time tracking, e-mailed invoicing, and integration with accounting software based on payment schemes dependent on the professional's and client's settings.

The application required traceability, mainly because it is in the healthcare sector. I was the main full-stack developer in charge of its front-end, back-end, UI/UX, and deployment onto servers.

Grant Management Tool

A React and PHP-based web application for automating financial management for grants. I managed the application from end to end: collecting requirements, UI, coding, testing, and DevOps. The application took financial and employment data and provided insights into compliance with the grant, budget, and financial commitments.
