  • 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.

    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.

    • 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.

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
