Experience

  • Trade Republic: an Android Mobile Broker App
    https://traderepublic.com/

    Trade Republic Bank GmbH is a German online broker in Berlin. It allows shares, derivatives, and cryptocurrencies to be traded on its mobile app.

  • Holidu: an Android Accommodation App
    https://www.holidu.com/

    Holidu is one of the fastest-growing travel tech companies worldwide. It's based in Munich, Germany, and provides a vacation rental meta-search engine. The app makes millions of travelers happy by helping them book the ideal accommodation for the lowest price.

    During more than two years in the company, I have converted the original Java codebase of the Holidu Android app to Kotlin. I increased test coverage, cleaned the app architecture, and introduced dependency injection to the project. I also developed many challenging features like Google Sign-in, theme-based search, and image classification using machine learning (hackathon project). In addition, I improved the look and feel of the app by implementing material design components, fancy transitions, and animations.

  • Corona-Warn-App: an Android Coronavirus App
    https://www.coronawarn.app/en/

    The Corona-Warn-App is an app that helps trace infection chains of SARS-CoV-2 (which can cause COVID-19) in Germany. The app is based on technologies with a decentralized approach and notifies users if they have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2. It is the main corona app for Germany, which is interconnected with the national health care system. Great emphasis is placed on data protection and transparency since the mobile app handles the sensitive health data of users. The project is open-source and available on GitHub.

    I worked on this project as a freelance developer and helped to implement many features, tests, and bug fixes. Even though the project was challenging in many ways, it was also a great experience as we helped many people and most likely saved some lives.
