  • The client needed a platform for purchasing unlock codes for mobile phones as simple as possible.

    I’ve built a simple and intuitive platform that can get you an unlock code for your phone in 3 easy steps. Being a platform for everyone, customers can assure that is pretty simple to use and very effective, as it has almost 1k reviews on platforms like Trustpilot, Trustmamma. Using Bootstrap, the platform I created was responsive so I had the idea to create a simple android application that opens the already finished website, publish it on Play Store, where it has over 100k downloads.

  • The client wanted a redesign for his application.

    I’ve built a cross-browser responsive design, from IE8 and Safari to Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, making sure that there are no big differences from the old design in terms of structure. That way, the user does not get a hard time finding every piece of information that is needed. Because I did not change the structure, the user experience remains as good as it ever was and the users were not affected by the design change.

    Skills: Zend Framework, Bootstrap 2, jQuery, HTML, CSS/CSS3, SVN, Google API

  • MR - https://www.marinareservation.com/

    The client wanted a marina reservation platform that provides marina owners the ability to add their businesses into the marketplace.

With over 4200 marinas that you can choose from, the platform has grown as a successful business, that being confirmed by the boatrental.io, a boat rental platform powered by marina reservation

  • 1. Rewardiful - https://www.rewardiful.com/

    The client wanted to build an online loyalty platform, that would be easy to customize and adapt to different customers, without the need of a software developer.

    I reduced the customization process from months of development to 5 minutes, by designing and implementing a template based platform, with a lot of customizable features (color, logo, product list, online payment, user report).

    2. Microsoft Social Data Export Tool

    The client wanted to centralize all their social media accounts data into one application with the possibility to export it.

    Reduced the time to generate the "Social media data report" from 1 week of manual work to 5 minutes, by implementing an app that automatically gathers and aggregates all the data using the social media API’s, and by generated a report (tables & charts) using PHPOffice.
