DevOps & AI

I have hands on experience with configuring infrastructure for mid-size projects. I used Docker, Kubernetes and Jenkins to configure automated deployments and CI/CD pipelines.

Fascinated by prospects of LLMs and Stable Diffusion I spend my free time to learn ML and AI to pursue my teenage dreems of making sci-fi worlds become reality.

Projects

2024

For the American startup, Justpoint, I developed various small sized and fast paced projects.

The biggest of them was successful migration of custom CMS from jQuery to Next.js which eliminated code debt and allowed maintenance.

On top of that I delivered multiple new features to CRM system. It boosted the performance of the company in terms of new clients processing and allowed it to grow sales. Another of the projects was quick implementation and deployment of e-mail signature generator which positively impacted e-mailing and improved spam rating.

Last but not least I performed rapid and flawless changes of Justpoint.com homepage (see above).

2023

Wikifolio.com is an investment and copy trading platform developed by an Austrian startup. It enables users to follow the transactions of successful traders and also offers investment certificates based on the best portfolios.

I participated in rebranding the search and portfolio details pages, which involved implementing a new design, enhancing the user experience, and updating the technology. I contributed to accelerating the performance and implementation of user tracking features. Alongside the client's team, we engaged in product development scrum meetings and code reviews.

2021

For Austrian fintech startup Credi2, I have worked on development of their BNPM (buy-now-pay-later) platform for renting Apple devices.

I contributed to development of many new features such as cross-sell recommendations, subscription early upgrade, electronic identification of users as well as creation of new separate module of the application.

I worked on technical aspects of the platform including refactoring of legacy code, implementation of analytics and improving translation mechanism. On top of that I participated in product development scrum meetings and was performing code reviews.

2018

I was part of the engineering team of mBank - one of the largest banks in CEE region. I developed an advanced online banking platform that allows clients to securely manage their financial assets, monitor account balances, transaction history, and execute both internal and external transfers.

In particular I worked on PSD2 implementation (European regulation that mandates banks to provide third-party providers access to their customers' account data, given the customers' consent), and - more importantly - main bank transfer form (see above).

Many of the projects I developed on are not publicly accessible. The ones above are just part of my work.
