Experience

  • User Management Solution

    I worked in a team developing a single-sign on application for a company in Europe. The application was integrated with Active Directory and supported third-party authentication for the company's SaaS applications. I wrote a TCP client for the integration with the VASCO service to enable two factor authentication. The application is currently in production with 20,000 users.

    I worked on the development of a portal for network infrastructure management. The service enables users to manage network, firewall and load balancing rules on their infrastructure.

I developed the portal using the ASP.NET MVC framework, and connected it to the back-end components using WCF services.

The component was reused by various companies entering the Croatian market.
