Employment
Experience
- Starzonia (Development)
A website for checking prices and reviews of products across several Amazon stores. It calculates prices including shipping to the given destination country and cumulates ratings (stars) from several Amazon stores.
- OCL Editor / SQUAM Framework (Other amazing things)http://dblp.uni-trier.de/pers/hd/c/Chimiak=Opoka:Joanna
An extension of Object Constrain Language (OCL) with concept of libraries and unit tests, which were implemented as an OCL Editor by a team of developers I was leading and used within projects along with industrial partners. The ideas, implementation, and usage were described in several of my scientific papers (e.g. c7, c10 at the provided link).
- Synchronizing UML Models (Other amazing things)http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-33666-9_38
Led a master project on Literate Modeling providing model and text synchronization by combining natural language processing technology with OCL model querying. With Literate Modeling, consistency of element names in the UML model with their counterparts in the text was achieved by using text annotations to provide the semantic link.
- Web Hosting System (Other amazing things)
One of the first fully automated web hosting platforms in Poland developed with at the time cutting edge technologies and innovative solutions. The platform automated registration of domains, configuration of e-mails and web servers including installation of preselected modules, e.g. e-shops. The platform also supported administrative and financial aspects of hosting workflow.
