Employment

  • Founder

    Obvibase
    • Began this app as a side project in 2011 but by 2016 was producing enough revenue to work on it full-time. In 2020 I released a full rewrite of the client using a newer stack and written in functional rather than OOP style.
    • Boosted the app with an innovative and complex front end of the order of 50,000 lines of code). Enabled it to sync a 10MB document in real-time between IndexedDB, multiple open browser tabs, and the server largely using RxJS.
    • Developed an element with an innovative UI using React (and hooks) to build a custom virtual (windowed) list that efficiently renders lists with tens of thousands of rows, a specialized rich text editor, and various widgets.
    • Released a new version of the app in 2020. It is installable as a PWA, works offline (including the ability to edit documents), and is optimized for mobile browsers.

Experience

  • Obvibase
    https://www.obvibase.com/

    A user-friendly online database editor. Designed and built the app from start to finish. Installable as a PWA and optimized for mobile web. The bulk of the logic is on the client (implemented with TypeScript, React, and RxJS). The server runs on Google App Engine (Python) and stores data in Google Cloud Datastore.

    A builder of online calculators. Designed and built the app from start to finish. The app continues to be available at https://jscalc.io, although I'm no longer involved in the project. The project link points to a demo video of my original implementation of the app.

  • 1log Library
    https://github.com/ivan7237d/1log

    An open-source library. Provides a function log() that can be used as the regular console.log(), but has two superpowers. You can insert it into any expression, as in f(log(x)), and it supports plugins. There are plugins for setting severity level, for logging functions, promises, iterables, and observables, creating snapshots of log messages in Jest tests, and more.
