Employment

  • JavaScript Developer

    2018 - PRESENT
    RCMT
    • Worked on a system where the user can walk through the 3D world and interact with elements. The user can also draw anything in a layer over the 3D world or a popup image. In Node.js, I wrote the back-end system where the user can manage other users, upload 3D models, and make a connection between users and models.

  • JavaScript and ActionScript Developer, Product Owner

    2015 - 2018
    VideoJam, Ltd.
    • Wrote a VPAID script that supports RTB (real-time bidding). Script communicates with our back-end system, search for the best ad, control playback of that ad, send analytics pixels etc. I added support for other VPAID, VAST, or MRAID standards.
    • Developed a video player that the customer can use to play their own videos, with our ads inside. The player can be customized by customer. The player uses our VPAID module for playing ads. If the user doesn't specify, the player will decide what is better to use: Flash or HTML5.
    • Built an admin panel system where the customer can enter custom VAST/VPAID links, check analytics, and specify permissions, price, and limits for each ad link. First we started with AngularJS (v1), but after few weeks we rewrote the complete admin panel system in React.
    • Wrote a small script first in Golang and then in Node.js that can on request download for some video ad file, start FFmpeg to convert a video file to images (sprite sheets), and return back to the client list of images that can be played even if user disables autostart on mobile devices.
