Portfolio

Developer - Rounder
Developer - Rounder

Rounder is a creative app that gives users a faster way to meet up for drinks. Using users' location and preferences, the app quickly serves up convenient and great places they can vote on. Participants will rack up points by buying the rounds, keeping track of who paid for what in the event that you have "that guy" that never pays for any of his drinks. In the end, the person with the most points wins. Developed the whole application and implemented the designs of the application designer. Technologies used in the project include: React +, Redux, Node, Go, Postgres, Google APIs, Bitbucket, Pipelines, Mocha.

Freelance Developer - Soccer Central
Freelance Developer - Soccer Central

Soccer Central delivers news from favorite publications and Twitter personalities to users in one place. Users no longer have to switch between tabs or devices to get the latest transfer fix. Soccer Central delivers news from favorite publications and Twitter personalities all in one place. Users can have an unlimited number of custom keywords to filter the news in order to get personalized news, such as transfer news, tracking a loan army, or simply keeping up with a specific event. Fixed all the bugs on the application and supervised the activities leading to the launch of the product.

Developer - Estimo
Developer - Estimo

Estimo allows users to keep their sales data in one place. The application enables them to create professional and profitable estimates in minutes and not hours. In growing organisations it is common for estimation data (roles, rates, client information, frequently sold services, standard prose) to be held in isolated documents, all with differing schemata. Beyond creating confusion during the estimation process itself, updating inconsistent data sets really transports you to a special place in hell. The process of discovering what a ‘good estimate’ contained was a small challenge in itself, but it clearly defined the data administration requirements for the product’s System Data interface. This now provides a logical interface for the inputting, growth and maintenance of all estimation data. Developed the front-end and back-end of the application, fixed all legacy bugs and implemented new features on the application in an agile environment.
