Experience

  • Sojourner PWA
    https://github.com/loomchild/sojourner-web

    Free and Open-source Software Developers' European Meeting (FOSDEM) conference companion progressive web app (PWA). Able to store favorite talks in the persistent device storage.

    Live version:
    https://fosdem.sojourner.rocks
    https://flowcon.sojourner.rocks

    Written in Vue.js using VueX, Material Design.

  • Puffin
    https://github.com/puffinrocks/puffin

    Lightweight web app catalog based on containers, with a user interface à la mobile app store.

    The project's goal is to allow the average, tech-oriented user to run web applications without worrying about a server. The idea is to create an easy-to-host, technology-agnostic private cloud.

    While many other tools are looking at containers as a way to run massive applications, Puffin concentrates on lightweight ones, each serving just a handful of people.

    Wrote using Docker, Python, and Flask.

    Live demo: http://puffin.rocks

  • Volume-backup
    https://github.com/loomchild/volume-backup

    A popular open-source utility to back up and restore Docker volumes. Written using Docker and Bash. Easy to use, well documented and regularly forked by developers, and used in commercial applications.

  • Multi-regional company Website
    https://www.wemaintain.com

    I built a brand new company's website from scratch. It includes four regional variants:
    • UK: https://www.wemaintain.co.uk/
    • Singapore: https://www.wemaintain.com.sg/

    All the content is managed autonomously by the client via Webflow Editor directly or via CMS. The website has a fully functional blog migrated from an existing blogging platform. The website is integrated with Salesforce CRM and contains custom price-calculation forms.

  • Tech Blog

    A place where I publish technical articles about things I've learned at work. Currently, I am focusing on front-end development with Vue.js and Nuxt.js. Recently I started publishing about Webflow and Alpine.js as well.

  • Reload
    https://github.com/loomchild/reload

    This utility starts the given program and reloads it whenever any file in the current directory changes. It can be used as both a Python library and standalone executable independent of programming language.

    Written in Python using the Watchdog library.

  • Segment
    https://github.com/loomchild/segment

    A tool to split the text into segments, for example, sentences. Splitting rules are read from the SRX config file based on regular expressions.

    The tool is optimized for performance, both in terms of processing power and memory consumption (it allows streaming processing). It has been used in commercial, open-source (LanguageTool) and scientific applications to process large text corpora, such as Wikipedia archives.

    Written in Java.

    I have also co-written a scientific paper based on this tool: https://loomchild.net/files/2013/12/Using_SRX_standard_for_sentence_segmentation_in_LanguageTool.pdf

  • Maligna
    https://github.com/loomchild/maligna

    mALIGNa is a program for aligning documents on the sentence level. It contains implementations of a few groups of alignment algorithms - algorithms based exclusively on the sentence length (Gale and Church, Brown), algorithms based on the connections between words (Moore's algorithm), as well as any variation and intersection of these algorithms. The aim of alignment is to obtain a bilingual corpus. It can be used for creating translation memories, translation by analogy, modeling probabilistic dictionaries, and other applications.

    Written in Java. Hosted on Maven central, used in commercial and scientific applications.

    I have co-authored a scientific paper based on this tool: https://loomchild.net/files/2013/12/A_new_tool_for_the_bilingual_text_aligning_at_the_sentence_level.pdf
