- Developed a prediction system that predicts user location on a specific hour and customizes a non-intrusive weather alert using Python and Scikit-learn.
- Led the development of a back-end server for the frontend apps serving weather information, weather maps and push notifications to hundreds of thousands of monthly active users using PHP, AWS and MySQL.
- Developed a 2D game on iPhone using Cocos2d and extending it with 3D models support.
- Shared in the co-founding and operating a startup and expanding it to a 30-employee software company.
