Experience
Hesti: Real Estate Evaluation App
https://hesti.lv/enThe first option is AI-driven. I collect real estate ads with a web scraper, parse the data, and use it to train a machine learning algorithm that can predict current prices.
The second option is to view the historical data of real transactions. I use a public API to collect data on real estate transactions that the users can browse.
Yelo: Road Traffic Rule App for the 21st Century
https://yelo.lvAnti-corruption App
https://pretkorupciju.lv/en/dataI gathered a team of developers and business analysts for a hackathon where we created a web app for collecting and showing data from a public procurement office. The tool aimed at making the data (which was stored in XML files in an unorganized manner) easy to overview and filter. The tool (Angular in the front end and Express.js in the back end) helps people to identify suspicious procurements that might involve corruption.
