I'm a full-stack developer with 7+ years of experience in startups trenches.

Here are the biggest projects I've worked on + a single feature that demonstrates my impact on product and/or technical chops :

Fanfest – fanfest.vip - Community engagement platform for soccer fans. Built a browser-based live streaming engine that lets streamers broadcast directly from their browsers in both 16:9 and 9:16 at 1080p (and lower resolutions), with simultaneous streaming to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, and X.com.

Pequity – pequity.com - Compensation management platform for mid-to-large organizations. Built V2 for offer approval chains, reducing complexity and fixing HUGE performance issues. For example, in the worst case scenarion in V1 for a single request it would take 2 minutes to finish. In V2 it's 970ms.

Haekka – haekka.com - Security and compliance training integrated with workplace tools. Developed a system for automatically assigning users training based on non-compliant events like exporting sensitive keys they did in AWS/Slack/Gmail.

Flox – flox.app - App facilitating social connections by helping friend groups meet. Used Postgis to build an algorithm for auto check-in system for event attendance.

Re:Ask HN: Why aren't you coding? on Saturday February 13, 2021 @09:00AM (#26123619)
Because it's Saturday and I don't want to code :)
I totally agree with you in regards that Docker is overkill if your app is a Django app that connects to database.

I can't image a world where running python manage.py runserver is less productive than spinning up two containers.

But once you need stuff like Celery workers, message brokers, and multiple databases for sharding, Docker is a life-saver.

Not in banking industry but startup I'm working with is in the middle of getting SOC2 compliance.

Any pointers I should consider on engineering side?

Re:Ask HN: Anyone know any funny programming jokes? on Thursday January 21, 2021 @04:47PM (#25864800)
Not exactly jokes but I highly recommend looking up CommitStrip.

I think they're the only web comic dedicated to programmers (excpet of course xkcd).

Re:Ask HN: Which charities do you donate to? on Thursday December 05, 2019 @09:13AM (#21712372)
I mostly donate to http://bildbosnia.org/ since they have helped me out so much at the start of my career as a developer.
