I was involved with two projects within this company. 

The first project was the legacy back office facing application of their investment platform. The main tasks here were related to integrating a few new features, unit testing the new features, fixing existing bugs and generally speaking, maintenance of the app. 

The second project was about the new version of the same platform, with better support for the new business model, higher scalability options and newer technologies. I was mainly involved in developing the back office facing application and on the API parts that would serve that UI.

Main goal of both applications was fast delivery to facilitate operations for the CSEs so design and UX was not a priority as we mostly improvised along the way (with the imposed limitations).

An application part of a bigger platform that is provided as a service to the clients. The main purpose is to provide detailed insights and stats for each client about their finances and how their business goes. Each client starts with a predefined set of reports/widgets/dashboards and can go and customize as much as they want. The application provides ways to define and create custom reports from a predefined list of data sources (all the data from a client) with custom groupings (by row and column), aggregations, filters, columns, etc. Also each report has multiple options for data viewing (grids/line charts/pie charts/bar charts) and drilling down and can be pinned to a dashboard so the information is always visible on the main screen right after you login into the app.

I was the main developer (we were 2 developers, the 2nd being part time on the backend work) for this application having a part in the architecture, technology selection and implementation. Also had a part in configuring the AWS runtime and the CI/CD pipelines.

We had a dedicated team for the UI design and the UX.

Worked on an online platform used to facilitate communication between the marketing researchers, clients and users participating in the marketing research. The platform consisted of 3 main applications:

• The backoffice - used for administrative tasks (adding new activities, moderation, adding incentives for the users, creating new chat rooms, etc.);
• The client office - here the clients could see some of the backend data intended for them;
• The square - here is where the users could join and participate in all sorts of activities, questionnaires, chat rooms, engage in challenges and win all sorts of prizes.

We had 3 teams across 2 countries totaling a number of 17 developers and 6 testers. I had the role of Senior Team Lead for one of the teams. The main roles were shared among all the senior developers and were: developing the platform architecture, coordinating the junior and mid devs in their work, taking part in the “experts” meeting where we discussed ways to improve and took technical decisions for the future of the platform.
