Doris

http://doris.mobi
Doris is an app that helps people to see how they look in different clothes. The user can search for outfits in the app search, upload his own images from the store, or use images sent from friends. The app is built using React Native, GraphQL, Formik, Tensorflow, and a lot of other technologies.

I'm currently one of the front-end developers of the app. Sometimes I work in the back end, which uses Serverless, Sequelize, Node.js, and other technologies. My role is to maintain and add new features, write tests, review code, and manage the continuous integration of features that I work on.

LUA

LUA is a social eCommerce platform with more than 30 brands, which empowers anyone to work from anywhere selling products without taking care of logistics, stock, etc. Everyone can join the platform, sell a product, and receive a commission.

I was part of the front-end development team which worked very closely to the back-end and design staff building the web platform (where the user sells) and the application, where the user can customize their own store.
