Insurance Shopping Questionnaire Engine

While working for Embroker, I led the implementation of a generic solution for creating insurance questionnaires. We created an engine for generating insurance shopping questionnaire forms with applicable rules and validation. This extremely improved and sped up the business response to market needs, reduced the needed development time, and greatly reduced the number of bugs in that part of the application.

Notification Service

While working for Embroker, I improved a notification service by making it much more flexible and testable. I also developed an admin functionality to compose custom emails and email templates and edit existing ones.

Bot for Placing Bets

I created a bot that parses emails with bet tips from Blogabet (Blogabet.com) and places bets on Pinnacle (Pinnacle.com/en). It also takes into consideration the changes in the odds and tipster statistics.

Crypto Trade Bot

Developed a bot for crypto trading on Binance geared for pump-and-dump groups.

It discovers coin stocks that are about to be pumped and buys them before the name of that coin stock is sent to those groups so that the price is still relatively low. The bot then sells the coin stock at a price before the dumping occurs. The bot is meant for the pump-and-dump trade only and can't be used for other purposes.
