The most amazing...
...thing that I've developed is my old company's mobile application from scratch. Even though the startup didn't succeed, I'm very proud of the work I've done.
Work Experience
Full-stack React Native Engineer
Sports Card Investor, LLC
- Developed and maintained the client's mobile applications.
- Worked on refactoring the back-end systems and APIs.
- Helped stabilize the system to reduce crashes and handle ever-increasing traffic.
React Native Developer
Tavan
- Developed a mobile application for the startup. I coded both products of the company using React Native. The route recommendation product required heavy usage of Google Maps.
- Deployed the mobile to both App Store and Play Store. Managed over-the-air updates using Microsoft App Center.
- Used Jira for Agile software development, even though I was the only developer working on front-end of the application.
Back-end Developer
Tavan
- Developed the startup's back-end from scratch. The application's first product was a recommendation engine for runners and cyclers, recommending them clothes and equipment for their activities.
- Led a small team consisting of another developer and a data scientist.
- Oversaw the launch and deployment processes from beginning to end.
- Used and learned about different tools, including serverless back-end and front-end development.
- Developed a route recommendation algorithm as a second product. For that project, I worked with open-source maps, Google Maps API, and Strava API. Basically, we created a new map with roads marked according to their popularity.
Mobile Application Developer
DentGroup
- Developed the company's mobile application during a summer internship.
- Used deployment tools such as App Center for the first time.
