Work Experience
CTO
2017 - PRESENT
Optymous
- Created a function that automatically generated all the code required for a certain set of predefined entities—easing the life of any back-end developer working for Optymous (with this it will literally take you minutes to have a full back-end starting kit for your next application).
- Used a custom made build for Laravel that can generate entities and the relationships between them automaticaly in order to achieve this.
Technologies: React, APIs, PHP, Laravel
CTO | Co-Founder
2014 - PRESENT
Digitalya OPS
- Founded with my brother Digitalya: a local web development agency; being both freelancers for over 5 years, we decided to join forces to build something great.
- Delivered top-quality solutions for various projects (dedicated to startups and also big companies).
- Mostly worked on projects that were API based so I usually used a combination between Laravel (for the back-end) and AngularJS (for the front-end).
Technologies: PostgreSQL, React, AngularJS, MySQL, Node.js, Laravel, PHP
Senior Web Developer
2013 - 2013
ShowMeCats
- Worked for ShowMeCats which was a startup that received seed investment from a venture fund from the UK.
- Developed the product (a social network for cats) in approximately 6 months; I was part of an extended team).
- Implemented the social network and to make sure that it can handle the traffic generated by the marketing. We had almost 10,000 active users.
- Tackled the biggest challenge of the project—the fact that almost everything was happening in real-time so I used a combination between Node.js, database procedures, and Socket.IO to achieve that.
