Sunbit
I joined Sunbit to develop their first version of the mobile app for splitting payments. It was a mobile first (mainly tablet) Typescript/React/Storybook app that was built from scratch. During just a few months, we (a team of 2) had a full version of the app that included various pages, wizards and flows. The team and the project were expected to grow pretty fast so there was an effort to separate the logic and the representation. A lot of thinking and planning was put into the right architecture, structuring Typescript classes and the data flows. Back then, Sunbit was a very small startup so the app we developed helped the company reach a lot of customers and meet their financial goals.
Matific
I joined the company when it was a very young startup. Matific made math games for children in kindergartens and schools. The development team was divided into 2 – the ones who worked on the actual games and the ones who were working on the company website and all the other things around. I came to Matific in order to lead the second team. It was a team of 4 people and the main effort was to rewrite the existing website from scratch using Angular (Javascript). It included right to left support, many marketing pages that should have been pixel perfect. And everything was required to be up in the air in a few weeks. It was a really great time both in terms of development itself and also in terms of leading the team, starting working in Agile and enjoying a small startup spirit.
Autodesk
Autodesk developed multiple products in different areas. One of the main products of the company was BIM360. It was a sophisticated construction management platform which helped with data collaboration between all the people involved in construction projects. I joined a team of 4 backend developers who were working in the Submittals management area of the product. Submittals can be any type of data required primarily for the architect and engineer to verify that the correct products will be installed during the construction process. The development was mainly done using Python and JS and I helped the team to solve the more complicated problems. Later on, Autodesk acquired another company and the part we were working on was integrated with the products of the acquired company.
Caaresys
I was one of the company founders and contributed in a role of VP R&D / Devops / IT and HR.The company developed a radar based sensor for in-cabin monitoring of passenger’s vital signs. The company worked with the largest automotive Tier 1 companies and developed 3 main products: VitalCaare – Monitoring passenger’s Respiration Rate, Heart Rate and Heart Rate VariabilityBabyCaare – Monitoring cabin occupancy status and alert about CPD (Child Presence Detection)CabinCaare – Monitoring seat occupancy status, counting passengers number and classifying passenger dimensions (Child/Adult) The company developed both the hardware and the software, but as I was the only Web/Software person, I built the company’s website and developed a cloud datacenter for data collection and representation. In addition I developed a baby monitoring mobile application as well as numerous prototypes of different systems and applications.In 2022, the company was acquired by Harman (Samsung). Technological stack:VueJS, MeteorJS
Reblaze
Reblaze is a company developing a wide range of cloud security solutions. I joined a team of fullstackers that were developing a reverse proxy for the private cloud networks. The team leader just left the company and the next major version release was just behind the corner. At the beginning I started contributing to the project in the most complicated areas. Along the way, we made some code conventions, did refactoring in multiple areas, changed some architecture decisions and made the frontend part to be more organized. After a few weeks, I started leading the team. I led the Agile meetings, prioritized the tasks and made sure we are on track with the upcoming milestones. During my last month, I transferred the team leader title to one of the team members, gave him the relevant management tools and explained to him my ways of thinking in multiple areas. At the end, I made sure that the team and the project are in good hands before moving on to my next thing… Technological stack:Tornado, NodeJS, NuxtJS
