  • Life Care | Cuidados Pela Vida (Development)

    This project involved a Brazillian mobile outsourced app. I worked as a software consultant (via TuntsCorp) along with Icons4u development.

    Our team started working on it in November 2016, and we finished at the end of January 2017.

    It is an Ionic-based app that helps users to use their Aché Laboratories relationship program.

    App Features:
    • GPS step monitor
    • Medicine reminder with local notification
    • Drug registration to gaining discounts with Aché Laboratories
    • Push notifications to send promotions to users

    I worked with a team of five developers as a senior software engineer.

    Main Tasks:
    • I helped my team to develop our tasks with a good schedule.
    • Worked hands-on with Cordova plugins such as geolocalization, background tasks, local notifications, and push notifications.
    • Worked hands-on with CSS to make to get the layout responsive for multiple devices such as iPhone 4 to iPhone 6 plus and tablets.

  • Project Skeleton for an API Using GraphQL and Express.js (Development)
    https://github.com/makinhs/node-graphql-tutorial

    This is a public project that I've made to write an article on Toptal blog.

    It was created using TypeScript with Express.js and GraphQL. It was meant to be a starting point for new projects and/or for new developers to understand the basic configuration of an Express.js with GraphQL configuration using Node.js

  • Project Skeleton for a REST API Using Node.js and Express.js (Development)
    https://github.com/makinhs/rest-api-tutorial

    This was a starting point for a REST API project that uses Node.js with Express.js and ECMAScript 6 to speed up the start of API development. It was also used for my article posted on a Toptal blog that provides an explanation on REST architecture and shows how I was working with Express.js and Node.js at the time.

    Although the code is using ECMAScript 6 instead of TypeScript, I do have other private projects that are using TypeScript instead of ECMAScript 6 for Node.js and Express.js
