Data Analysis Developer in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Member since June 18, 2016
With a strong scientific background, Vladimir knows how to operate around tricky problems and chases quick and elegant solutions for them. He's a generalist, always striving to use the best-suited technology for each project instead of always gravitating to the most well-known one. He is also dedicated to pixel-perfect solutions and integrates well with either a front-end or back-end team.

Experience

  • Urban Search (Development)

    An Australian data-driven real estate search engine. I've been working in a team of three on both back-end and front-end development.

    Every building was rated and scored depending on various data sources like geolocation data, historical significance, etc. NLP also works on the front-end part of the project, making free text search possible (e.g., You can simply type: "I want a two-bedder with high ceilings and water views in Bondi" and the results will appear).

  • Fcuking Easy CRM (Development)
    https://feasy.me/

    A featherlight weight CRM system concentrated on sales productivity and built with 4 core principles in mind:

    - Touch-move rule (like in Chess but for communications)
    - You need to write down everything (memory is the key)
    - Woodpecker sales (write-call-meet till you make it)
    - Time only priority

    Based on those principles, a salesperson can proceed with several hundred deals simultaneously.

    From the technical side:

    - AngularJS front-end
    - Ruby EventMachine REST API back-end
    - PostgreSQL as a database
    - Redis for background tasks

  • TimeWalla (Development)

    A Ruby on Rails project to schedule appointments.

    Originally for USA barbershops network. The point is to adjust schedule dynamically, depending on client's, if somebody's running late or otherwise want to move earlier. and keep both customers and workers updated.
