Experience

  • Ferryroute

    Ferryroute is a website and mobile application selling ferry tickets from 42 European companies. The application is already available on the Google Play Store and will eventually be released on the iOS App Store.

    I designed, implemented, and deployed the whole system. On the back end, I implemented a custom framework, a resource system inspired by data-driven development, sourcing the data from different APIs. On the front end, I built a framework on top of Vue, allowing fast implementation of new functionalities and pages.

  • Foxbee Shell

    A tool I designed after years of experience in server maintenance. A custom shell built on top of Bash and a framework to build amazing scripts for servers. Includes automatic Pandoc documentation, command line auto-completion, text formatting (colors, style, icons, and tables), and a Debian package builder.

  • Foxbee Compiler

    What I feel should be the right way to write code, a modern language I implemented built on top of Common Lisp and its associated interface, dedicated to website development in a serverless infrastructure. An attempt to bring a new programming paradigm to the market!

  • Report Application
    https://iproject.io/

    Developed the entire application, including the back end in PHP/MySQL and the front end in Vue.js. A data-driven reporting application with dynamic forms and graphs, including a timeline, a histogram, a pie chart, and a data table, all with interactive, highlight, grouping, ordering, and filtering capabilities and the ability to display records on a map too.
    Implemented a custom WebQL-like SQL language to support the report application using prepared statements to avoid any SQL injections.

  • Project Management Application
    http://iproject.io

    Developed the entire application: the back end in PHP/MySQL and the front end in Vue.js. The main screen is a Gantt chart where we can add and edit tasks with simple drag and drop. The system recognizes managers and people assigned to tasks across multiple projects and avoids time overlaps. It also takes into account weekends and bank holidays, so the duration of a task is known on both business days and regular days.

  • Order Monitor Application
    http://iproject.io

    The Order Monitor is a Vue.js application for restaurants to track their online orders, from pending to delivered. It takes into account client specificities and includes grouping, ordering, and filtering functionalities.
