Experience

Apollo

https://apollo.pl
As a PHP back-end developer, my main tasks were fixing bugs and implementing new functionalities. The biggest challenge was implementing the Elasticsearch search engine, as it was the first time I encountered that technology. The result was reduced page load times from about 10 seconds to less than 0.5 seconds.

Black Red White

https://brw.pl
Black Red White is an online furniture store. My role included rewriting the standard PHP application to PHP API. The most challenging part was to rewrite the most complex modules—the cart and user account. Rewriting the whole application reduced page loading times from 1-2 seconds to around 0.1 seconds. Google page speed increased to 95 and 99 for PC and mobile devices.

Przepisomat Cookbook App

Przepisomat is a cookbook app that helps users store recipes, organize them by categories, filter, and measure groceries needed for a selected recipe. All recipes are linked to the user's account, but every user can share the recipe by email to one or all users.

The app is divided into Nuxt.js front end and PHP Laravel REST API. I wrote both the front end and back end.

AIR-COM eCommerce

AIR-COM is an eCommerce platform for one of Ideo Agency's clients. As a web developer, I worked in a team with five other developers for a year. My main tasks included preparing scripts for the dedicated file imports such as XML and CSV, integrating the project with Elasticsearch, ERP, Pimcore, and FreshMail, developing other features, optimizing imports, exports, and other scripts, fixing bugs, and evaluating tasks.
