Employment
Experience
- Glooky (Development)
Advanced travel meta search engine for finding the optimal combination of multiple flights in one journey. Built using Node.js and MongoDB.
- Biwiring (Development)
Biwiring is social network for audiophiles and people who enjoy HiFi audio experience. It is another project of our team who worked on Glooky. Technologies used: Loopback, Node.js and Mongo.
- Master's Thesis (Development)
Automatic recognition of music samples (Shazam algorithm). Sound sample is recorded in byte array format. System uses FFT algorithm to transform the signal from time to frequency domain and creates audio fingerprint in a form of hash. Hashes are then used for matching sound sample.
- Best position (Development)
Software that finds out the best position on a guitar for playing a melody. User inputs list of tones and program returns list of exact positions (position = fret + string). Used Dijkstra's algorithm for finding the shortest path in a graph. Technologies used are Java and JSP.
- Ecopedia (Development)
A website for ecology built in Joomla! with JavaScript on the client side. I built it as a startup project with one more friend. The site has an educational purpose and helps students exchange knowledge.
- Tripsearch (Development)
Developed and supported a travel search engine that focuses on Canada and USA travel market. Used ColdFusion and JavaScript.
- Java SE 7 Oracle certificate (Other amazing things)
Passed the Oracle 1Z0-803 certification program.
- Let LoopBack Do It: A Walkthrough of the Node API Framework You've Been Dreaming Of (Publication)While Ruby has Rails and Python has Django, the dominant application development framework for Node has yet to be established. But, there is a powerful contender gaining steam: LoopBack, an open source API framework built by StrongLoop, the creators of Express. Let's take a closer look at LoopBack and it's capabilities by turning everything into practice and building an example application.
- How does Shazam work? Music Recognition Algorithms, Fingerprinting, and Processing (Publication)You hear a familiar song in the club or the restaurant. You listened to this song a thousand times long ago, and the sentimentality of the song really touches your heart. You desperately want to heart it tomorrow, but you can't remember its name! Fortunately, in our amazing futuristic world, you have a phone with music recognition software installed, and you are saved. But how does this really work? Shazam's algorithm was revealed to world in 2003. In this article we'll go over the fundamentals of that algorithm.
