Freelance

I've been doing mostly NodeJS freelance backend projects of custom e-commerce sites that couldn't be done using generic site generation tools like wordpress. Since 2021 I've become really interested in blockchain. In the blockchain space, I've done mostly freelance work and I was responsible for the backend infrastructure and design of several projects along the way. Developed a couple of smart contracts as well, but mostly been doing backend work using Nodejs and accomodating infrastructure through platforms. The ecosystem has gotten me interested in distributed systems work specializing in fault tollerance.

Senior Software Engineer

Agreena

Doing everything that's needed in a startup environment. Doing nestjs microservices that are well tested and documented. Setting up docker k8s, test infrastructure using github actions. Setting up linting hooks for code consistency and so on. I've been an interim teamlead as needed for about 6 months during a turbulent time in the company and I was happy to help out with team dynamics temporarily.

Software Engineer

Atscale

In my current occupation I'm responsible for the development and support of a SaaS big data processing solution. The general idea is connecting BI tools like Tableau, an inhouse developed tool and others with all kinds of popular data warehouses like Postgres, Redshift, Snowflake and Hive to name a few. Besides that I've been deeling with big data processing and aggregation automation optimizing the business query response speeds. This provides the business users with a familiar BI environment to ask their business questions, combiding multiple data warehouses to answer a single business query if necessary.

Senior Android Software Engineer

News UK

I was in charge of a small team developing the NewsUK Android applications and was responsible for some devops work ensuring the continuous integration and deployment of the apps to the store. I am proud to have done the initial push for the testing pipeline migration from Jenkins to circle CI and automating and integrating with git and slack for more transparency and resiliance of the processes.

Senior Android Software Engineer

Paysafe Group

I lead a small team of 3 people working on the Skrill and Neteller android applications. I was part of the team dealing with payment processing. I've done a lot of infrastructure building as well and pushed trough some new automated processes for making sure the team has a consisten code output including formatting, minimal count of core review peers and test automation. Really focused on improving legacy code instead of just supporting it and that eventually enabled the possibility of merging the two android applications into one, which I'm very proud of. I've done a lot of work in making sure all security standards of communication were followed and learned a lot about the level any application must have in a financial setting.

Software Engineer

Progress

One of the open source projects I've poured my life and soul in - NativeScript. I was instrumental for embedding a javascript runtime into an android application. It was challenging work where all your available documentation is in C header files. I developed features, helping with embedding and integrating the core product into the Telerik(now Progress) Platform. Working on the NativeScript's android-runtime, doing feature development, NodeJs standards implementaion from specification, performance optimizations, stress tests, integration of the wrapping modules taking advantage of the runtime. This still is one of the jobs where I am so gratefull to have had and to be able to study under the incredible people working there.
