Summary

I have been doing software development since 2016, during which I have worked in different environments, from big consultancy companies to start-ups. I am a self-motivated and self-taught professional who likes to solve problems. I merge a passion for usability and user experience with technical knowledge to create better digital experiences. My repertoire includes programming languages and tools such as C#, Typescript, React.js, ASP.NET Core, Node.js, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Gulp, SASS, jQuery, and more.

Work History

Frontend Engineer (Contract)

VU.CITY
London
11.2021 - Current

Been working on a project that reflects a collaboration platform, built with React, GraphQL and Typescript, deployed with Netlify.


Accomplishments:

i. Built a file management system, similar to Google Drive.
ii. Implemented real-time update for user comments which supports sorting and infinite scrolling.
iii. Built a coverage map tool which allows users to draw custom shapes on a map. This comes with custom tools such as Pen tool for
free form drawings, square shape tool for rectangles which maintains the 90 degrees angle for all vertices when being edited and a circle shape tool for drawing circles.
iv. Created a (Slack) like File Previewer which supports zooming, pinching, panning 360 images
and FBX model files which helped remove react-file-viewer as a dependency and this also reduced our bundle size.
v. Created a custom validation hook which is being used in scenarios where 3rd party libraries are not enough to meet certain acceptance criteria.
