Portfolio

Full Stack Developer - MyBank Tracker
Full Stack Developer - MyBank Tracker

The project was a rewrite of an existing software that was previously written in CakePHP. This was not only a rewrite, but a huge refactor of how the system worked. I took charge of back-end development building out API endpoints for the front end Angular app to consume. While my focus was on back-end development (I was the sole backend developer), I also worked in full stack capacity, working with the Angular codebases as well, building out many pages for the website.

Android Developer - Streak Android App
Android Developer - Streak Android App

The project was a Gigster project where I took over an abandoned project, and took the project to completion. There were many road blocks in the project, especially working with the Streak API, but I marched on and eventually completed the project.

Full Stack Developer - HaulHub
Full Stack Developer - HaulHub

The project was a rescue project from Gigster. The quality of work on the project by a previous developer was in a poor state due to poor communication, architecture decisions, and code quality. I took over the project, rewrote the app from scratch, and successfully finished the project allowing the client to finally launch his startup.
