Double-entry accounting based on text files. Implemented double-entry accounting inspired by Beancount. (https://github.com/beancount/beancount).

It allows for keeping financial transaction data in plain text files, reading it into memory, and processing and generating reports. Most of the syntax, as described in Beancount documentation, is supported.

At Asseco, I worked on a really small team consisting of a project lead developer and myself. One of the most important things I learned there while working in the banking sector on personal financial management software, was that incredible software can be created relying only on core Java/JDBC and not using a library or framework for every little feature. This approach, at first, might seem counter-intuitive and might seem that it costs time implementing features by yourself, but this approach has, in many instances, turned out to be very flexible.

At Identalia (a dental clinic), I worked as a senior developer in a small team working on an in-house CRM. While there, I had an opportunity to work on all parts of software development: from talking to end-users, gathering new requirements and feature requests, collecting feedback on new features, implementing new features and interesting modules, testing, and documentation. I also learned how a seemingly small change in a feature (saving a user a few clicks for example) can have a huge impact when multiplied across all users and it is much easier to work with users that are happy with the application they are working on.

One of the modules that I am happy to have had a chance to implement was one that had a task to generate personalized (for each patient) 3D animations that depicted patients' dental procedures. This module was not only extremely interesting because of my old interest in computer graphics, but it was also an invaluable tool for explaining dental procedures to patients who felt more comfortable when things were explained visually.
