Employment
Experience
- Flocktory (Development)http://flocktory.com
A social referral platform. I worked with the founders from the beginning, in a small room with a whiteboard. The project is built with Ruby on Rails and hosted on Amazon Web Services; configuration is managed by Chef. There are several dependent applications, including client cabinet, manager cabinet, customer front-end (landings, pop-ups, and so on) and a JavaScript library injected on the client side that handles data exchange and widgets rendering.
- Bananastreet (Development)http://bananastreet.ru
A site about nightlife and electronic music. Built with Ruby on Rails. The front-end is built on a pages rendering library (based on turbolinks.js), which manages refreshless page transitions and rendering. A music album, for instance, could be displayed in a pop-up or as a standalone page. The HTML is left on Rails to simplify future support for the clients.
- Yagoodza (Development)
A designer goods marketplace. Built with Ruby on Rails, at first with Google Closure Compiler on front-end. Later rewritten in jQuery to minimize support costs.
