Developed a React App connected to a straightforward NodeJS REST API.
The main functionality was allowing contractors to upload and edit JSON documents validated by a custom schema, that was parsed by the API to create AMP-powered web stories, to present in a modern way, real estate projects either for rent or sale.

Developed a React App connected to a straightforward NodeJS REST API.
The main functionality was allowing contractors to upload and edit JSON documents validated by a custom schema, that was parsed by the API to create AMP-powered web stories, to present in a modern way, real estate projects either for rent or sale.

The slides were actual videos as defined in the uploaded JSONs, while on top of them, the API positioned the building details according to the predefined layout template.

According to my former partners, the app is still critical to generating revenue for their startup, supporting them in their journey, and working as expected for over 1.5 years already. Show less

Skills: JavaScript, TypeScript, Cordova, Ionic2, Google Maps, NodeJS, Gulp

Before switching to native mobile technologies we developed a proof of concept in Angular2 with TypeScript, Ionic2 and Google Maps to evaluate whether cross-platform development could meet our quality requirements. The build system was initially implemented using Gulp and later we made the transition to pure NodeJS.

Extending the Bringme mobile app with a new main screen: the home feed. The first part of the project had us implementing the new screen which is a list of notification messages where the users could check the status and the log of their deliveries.

The second part of the project saw us preparing the home project together with 4 other previously implemented projects for going live. We were mostly busy with improving the stability and reducing the technical debt of the entire system.

Finally, we ran through all the test phases involved in bringing 4 projects to production.
The project was successfully finished in time. Show less
