VetCloud

VetCloud is a cloud-based veterinary practice management system. I started as a senior web developer, and for the first nine months, the product was developed using HTML, CSS, jQuery, PHP, and MySQL. The second version of VetCloud was built using HTML, CSS, AngularJS, Node.js, Express.js, Socket.io, and MongoDB. I held the lead developer role and, after a few months, was promoted to project manager and integration manager. I also created a native mobile app for iOS using Objective-C.

CafeWell

CafeWell is SaaS, which can be described as a health optimization platform. I worked on the platform for four years, during which I changed many teams and touched dozens of services. The system has a microservice architecture where each service uses a unique set of technologies, so I had to switch between different programming languages multiple times a day.

Walltrek was a Beijing-based startup whose role was to act as a safe bridge between employees and employers. The website was developed using the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node.js). Apart from being the CTO, I was also the only tech person, and because the startup was in a very early stage, I had to cover all project lifecycle stages.
