The labor-management project is a rewrite of the front end of a legacy MVC monolith application. The application's primary purpose is to create and maintain employee shifts, displaying the labor demand for specific periods with chart representations and each employee's cost. The main user type is a manager of a department or location.

The application looks like a fancy calendar table with a daily and weekly view. On the daily view, the employee names are displayed on the left side of the screen and grouped by employee role (bartender, cook, etc.). The main schedule area is separated into 24 columns representing the 24 hours of the day. The user can click on a specific column against an employee and create a shift. The shifts can be resized, moved, and copied via drag and drop functionality. A bar chart at the top, following the 24-hour grid, displays with different colors periods of 30 minutes (one bar), showcasing if the manager has scheduled the required amount of labor. The weekly view has similar functionalities, but the schedule grid is separated on a 7-day basis.

Time and Attendance is a mobile application developed with React Native for Android and iOS tablet devices. It takes the role of a clock in and out machine.

An Ember.js application with the main purpose to display work shifts and absences. The user profiles are employees and managers of restaurants and hotels. The employee can see his scheduled shifts, request unavailability, or request a shift swap with employees working similar shifts at different times. The manager can do the same as the employee, including approving the requested unavailabilities, shift swaps, or drops. An additional feature is the open shifts. Every employee can see a set of open shifts regarding his role and claim them if he wants and is available to work them. After a few employees claim one shift, the manager can decide whom to assign it based on employee rates and skills.

Employee self-service is an Ember.js web app used by restaurant and hotel employees who use Fourth products. The application's main purpose is viewing and/or editing personal info, employment documents, payslips, rotas, and holidays.

The Node.js Accelerator is an exclusive learning program that educates JavaScript/back-end developers in Node.js, Express.js, NestJS, and TypeScript. This is a 2-month program that consists of rigorous learning exercises, live instructor-led sessions by SMEs, hands-on activities, a stringent evaluation process, comprehensive assessments, and an incremental project where participants implement a couple of microservices (REST APIs) using Express.js and NestJs. The incremental project simulates an eCommerce application consisting of two services, i.e., a user service to implement the authentication with user management and a product-catalog service that offers functionalities to manage inventory.
