Lingoset is a platform that uses adaptive learning to boost language teaching and a diagnosis approach to identify where each learner needs extra support. Teachers can select from 3000+ training questions that are tagged by grammar area and level so that they can assign exactly what your students need. Joined the start-up as a technical co-founder and worked as a full-stack developer for the application, using Vue.js SPA and Laravel framework for the backend. Oversaw user interviews, ideation, UI/UX design, implementation, deployment, and success measurement. I added one different component to the app, an admin panel for teachers, where they can assign homework to their English students. Ensured the creation of the optimum landing page for new registrations, set up A/B testing experiments throughout the app, and developed an email notification system. Also in 2020, I've developed a prototype using Python (Flask) that used NLP (spacy) to create an English training plan for a student based on their writing errors.
Palevate connects friends and colleagues to motivate each other to a healthier lifestyle and to make exercise a habit. Users commit to being active several times a week and urge their partner to do the same. I developed an initial prototype, working with another developer using Python, Django, Vue.js, DialogFlow, and Slack's API. There was a Slack chatbot component that employees could talk to in order to initiate and accept challenges and to record their sports activities. Users could see their results in a mobile-responsive dashboard.
The Ayuda Platform is a supply-side platform (SSP) that is used by media sellers worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. Aside from the usual CMS + player functionality, the Ayuda Platform includes iOS apps for proposal generation, CRM, inventory and contract management, invoicing, leasing, financial reporting, and BI dashboards. The Ayuda Platform also includes a DOOH ad server that works with multiple ad exchanges enabling programmatic buying scenarios. I worked in a team of four full-stack developers on their static billboard management system. Developed using Domain-Driven Design and F#. The front-end was created using the Elmish framework.
