Experience
Niche Social Network
Nice looking virtual Viennese masks are available to protect the avatar picture.
The user profile is built almost entirely using easy-to-understand icons. In this way the profile looks far more appealing.
For making the user interface more responsive, I created a JavaScript framework closely integrated with CakePHP.
MagicHost

It has plugins for galleries, sliders, custom forms, page templates, events, news, document manager and different custom ones for specific needs.

Online System to Manage Legal Cases
The killer feature is a way to create teams that can cover certain counties depending on the number of open cases.
In the end, the whole country is evenly covered so the institution is more efficient and responsive (there is also a central dashboard with graphical representations of team distribution and number of open cases).
