JavaScript, React.js, Redux, Typescript
I have been a part of two different teams and shipped two successful products to customers from Switzerland and Germany. My first fully remote international experience. The team and customers are all around the world. Tools and technologies used: Git, Jira, Postman
ES5, ES6, React.js, Redux, Fabric.js, Ext.js, Jaeger(internal js ui library)
As a part of the Web Infrastructure team, I developed apps and components that are commonly used for more than one project. Main responsibilities include developing apps with React.js and giving support to older apps written with fairly older libraries like JQuery and Ext.js. Tools and technologies used: Git, Jira, Maven, Jenkins, Npm, Webpack, Docker
PHP, Laravel, Node.js, Unity
It all began when a close friend asked me to help him with a freelance job that has a tight deadline. It brought me good money(at least for a student). Then we did more jobs and developed projects together. After almost two years of studying & freelancing we graduated and established a small startup.
Unelabs has accomplished more than enough. Even if it did not make us rich and famous(apparently), it taught us a lot, not only technically but also socially, economically, etc. Unelabs’ main focus was Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality, but we also developed websites for money. Old freelance habits… I was mostly developing APIs for our VR & AR apps. I had some Unity experience there too.
HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Mostly help desk stuff. Installations, fixing accounts.. ‘Have you tried turning it off and on again?’
