Sound Check is an Android mobile application that leverages audible frequencies to determine a person's biographic and geographic information. The app operates on the premise that an individual's environment and lifestyle are connected to their biographic and geographic details, with sound being a crucial component. By collecting and analyzing a set of population's audible frequencies versus their biographic and geographic information, this application can classify an unknown person into a particular biographic or geographic category based on their audible frequencies.

To use Sound Check:
1. Install the soundcheck.apk file.
2. Once the app is installed, open the application. The first screen will contain instructions to open szynalski.com/tone-generator/ or any website that can generate tones of varying frequencies. Since the application aims to estimate your age based on frequencies you can hear, an external source is needed to generate the tones.
3. Once the website is open, follow the instructions on the application screens.
4. Congratulations! You will now have an estimate of your age, for example, "You are over 30 years old."

A time-tracking human resource application deployed and used in Germany by agencies specializing in blue-collar workers.

I was part of the team that developed the application. My role was to build, maintain, and automate DevOps, tooling, and infrastructure, working closely with back-end, front-end, and test engineers and product owners. I developed Dockerfiles for the back end and CI/CD pipelines for the front end, which resulted in multiple web, Android, and iOS platform artifacts. I also deployed in mobile app stores' test tracks to support test engineers.

A microservice that was part of a larger project for a client whose business provided personal loans. The microservice performed credit scoring based on a person's financial transaction history and some biographic information.

My role was to design and build the application. I developed the application using Java and used a graph database, Neo4j, to store relationships about a person's data.

A project targeting the development of a platform that allowed a person to purchase and renew an insurance policy conveniently. The project involved the collection of KYC data as per insurance regulatory requirements, partnering with insurance companies, and integrating with payment providers.

My role in the project was to design and build the entire platform, handling full-stack development, DevOps, and infrastructure. I worked closely with the CEO to develop workflows and review requirements. I also worked closely with payment providers to set up site-to-site VPNs to secure payment processing.

A project focused on an instant messaging application with convenient payment functionalities. Its core value was enabling payments at a social level, for example, splitting a bill at a restaurant.

I contributed to the project as a lead DevOps and infrastructure engineer, working closely with the rest of the engineering team to create pipelines that built and deployed web, MongooseIM server, and iOS and Android mobile applications. I developed scripts to automate the creation of a temporary disposable environment where engineers could test their features and fixes. I also created a custom load-testing tool.

A mobile application that would perform text-to-speech translations of social media alerts and play the speech to users while listening to music or podcasts on their phones.

A use case was someone training in the gym while listening to music and wanting to be aware of the activity on their social media accounts. The speech alerts were detailed enough to indicate the type of activity and the name of the person who performed it.

I've contributed to the project by designing and building the application.
