Senior Full-stack Developer

Infuy

Built SpringBoot REST services and client Angular interfaces for Zentility, a company that aims to automate the workflow of energy brokers, delivering optimal energy contracts to their customers.
Created a scalable white labeling scheme for a customer dashboard built with Angular. When the application loads, it fetches its style values from a REST service that inspects the HTTP host and origin headers and resolves the theme based on that.
Implemented the client-side themes assigning the response values to custom CSS properties. The themes are applied at runtime without reloading the page.
Handled the previous scheme built around specific CSS wrapper classes for each theme, which generated a lot of unused CSS code loaded for all sites. This would not have scaled well in the projected scenario of having more than 50 themes.
Built infuy.com, a company marketing website, with WordPress from wireframe designs.
Implemented features for an admin and self-serve kiosk for a movie theater. The UI was implemented using React.

Experience

Web Karaoke Player

http://karaoke-player.netlify.app

A hobby project implemented in ClojureScript and deployed with Netlify.

ClojureScript Sudoku Generator

https://cljs-sudoku.netlify.app

A Sudoku game generator built with ClojureScript with a continuous deployment pipeline executed in Netlify.

Used reagent and re-frame libraries for the components and application state and Bulma for styling. When a cell is clicked, all relevant and related cells are highlighted.

HTML2Hiccup
