Experience

Rapid Card2Card Transfer Service

A service that allows rapid card-2-card transfers by providing integration with a third-party payment gateway. The service is a peer-to-peer payment solution, with no registration needed.

I developed the project from the early stages to production.

Kwenda: Tourist City Guide for Android

An app which integrates with point of interests, shows routes, and allows object filtering by type.

Clustering large sets of objects on the map

I implemented an algorithm for building static clusters of geolocations and pre-calculating them for different zoom levels. I integrated it with a mobile banking app and it works in production, perfectly handling more than 50k objects.

The towers of Hanoi game

An Android game where users have to move disks from one rod to another. I've implemented nice touch-screen user interaction.

Huffman Code Implementation with Python

The project's aim was the Python implementation of a compression algorithm using Huffam codes. It builds a binary tree based on the given input string. The path to the leaf element is encoded by a sequence of '0' and '1' representing the shorter than 8-bit code of a character used to compress new data.

Flat-sharing Platform: Coliver

A platform for searching for future flatmates for sharing an apartment rental in big cities. I was a full-stack developer and implemented an MVP from scratch. The back end was implemented in Java/Spring Boot, the front end was implemented with Vue, and the service was run on Kubernetes.
