Faical A.

The company I work for needed a tool to manage their sales, appointments, and products; they also needed to visualize data in a relevant way.

So the plan was to develop a software/web app to respond and satisfy the company's needs.

I started working on an MVP model as a sole developer and once the latter was ready, 3 developers were recruited to help build a final product.

I was leading the team through all the stages of development besides planning and structuring and deciding on which technologies and solutions we should use.

This project presented different levels of complexity varying from a basic CRUD backend and simple display to a very complex calendar and appointments system and a role system.

Later on, more features were requested by the management including an online signature service and surveys which were done manually before and took considerable time and effort this way.

Finally, the project (Main requirements) was achieved flawlessly and was operating as intended. The company was able to manage appointments seamlessly and act upon requests accordingly. So the impact was very obvious since it was a switch from manual labour (google sheets and docs which were shared between employees) to software-based solutions which were more automated and data was reflected in real-time.

The client had tens of thousands of videos hosted on multiple video hosting platforms, the problem was that videos would get deleted due to inactivity.

To solve this issue I created a backup system to watch the videos and create backups whenever a record is about to be deleted by inactivity.

It was a simple and straightforward solution that came with a new set of problems.

The client ended up with many URLs to keep track of and use as a video source, so I added functionality to save and serve a unique URL for any entry, this means that whenever he creates a new video the backup system would store it and create a unique URL for it, and no matter the number of backups created for this video the client would only need to save the generated URL

Later on, to enhance the client experience, I added the possibility to upload videos and save them directly to the backup system through the latter, and it was possible because those video hosting platforms expose a public API.

The project was delivered. It was successful and was operating as intended with many extra enhancements and upgrades.

An owner of multiple coffee shops needed a solution to manage and lead his shops from a single place, to solve his problem a standard coffee shop system was developed and deployed at each of his shops, which later would be connected to a cloud Firestore.

A single app managed by the owner was also developed to communicate with the Firestore and check the data he needs to check (data was displayed in a relevant way).

Updates made by the owner would immediately update the target shop app as they were all listening to updates in the database.

A friend of mine developed a mobile game similar to Noodles!

The problem was that he wanted to design many levels 5000 approx. and turn them into .json based game levels where each file contains the required data to render the level perfectly.

Doing that manually was so exhausting, time-consuming and error-prone.

To solve that problem I created an application that generates levels quickly (30 secs per level) and account for every little detail, in addition to that I added functionality that calculates the minimum required steps to complete the level, based on that he was able to create a star system to display player performance.

At last, I exploited the system to make level editing possible.

The task was to create an e-commerce platform.

It was a straightforward development to launch the MVP using the WordPress/woo-commerce library/plugin.

I made the theme from scratch and developed all the necessary parts of the platform to get the business started. After the product launch, I started on developing some extra features and a CRM to manage sales/ bills etc.
