Huu is an experimental web experience that tells the stories of victims of war time sexual violence.
The user floats in air from island to island and as he approaches an island he can hear the stories of the victims.
The experience is still in development but a preview can be viewed at huu.world/#/pureweb
I was brought to be the software architect, and lead the project from conception to market.

Safet Zec is the most famous living artist from Eastern Europe. So when I got the oppurtinity to help his foundation by coming up and creating archiving software for for their needs it was an opportunity of a lifetime.
I served as the product owner and technical lead for the project, where I was given a budget and had to create a team for the project and lead. The team consisted of two developer, designer, qa and me.
The project is built using react for frontend, node.js for backend and a no-sql firestore. The project has a ci/cd set up for two environments qa and production. The database has a backup system set up, which triggers once a month automatically.

Feedback.Exchange is a b2b software with a complicated from scratch built front-end and backend. On this project I served as the tech-lead, among other things. The front-end is built using very little dependencies and all in a custom code to support the modern ui.
The backend architecture is built using the most modern and advanced architecting methodologies and paradigms. The entire backend is built in a microservice architecture with a serverless implementation.
The front end is built using React, the backend using Node.js and Firebase and the database is NoSQL, Firestore. For this project I also implemented CI/CD pipelines using Azure.

For Sentra Systems I've made a node.js backend that receives, decodes, and stores byte data sent from Teltonika GPS tracking device, to be used on a construction site to monitor the workor activites.
For the frontend I built an admin dashboard using react libraries, and for the database PostgresSQL and Node.js for backend.

For Orica.io I've made a node.js api that analysed daily CryptoCurrency transactions and stored the data only for the ones with value over 10,000 dollars, which required setting up additional api's to analyse the value of the currency being transacted.
The database was set up using a PostgressSQL. And the front-end dashboard was built using React Admin.
