What I have worked on

CrazyEgg

Since February 2022 I work remotely for US company Crazy Egg Inc. I am there as Senior Software Engineer working in team of 3 on the backend server written in Elixir. I am responsible for all of the technical designs, technology chosen, etc.

I have worked on various projects there including complete rewrite of authentication system including support for multi factor authentication, safe password reset and complete security of user passwords. A lot of integrations with 3rd party services, designing and implementing scalable workers and a lot of SQL optimizations.

BnT

I have worked for BnT company working on prototype for gold trading company from Germany. I was working on their new application that should lower the barrier for investing in gold. My responsibility was complete design, architecture, development and deployment of the backend system which was responsible for all the gold trading, currency conversions, integration with payment processors, etc. We were working in team of 3, me as a backend engineer, one mobile app developer for frontend and one UI designer. We have delivered the app in the agreed-upon timeframe but I think they did not continue with development beyond the PoC phase due to low interest from customers.

DivvyPay (now BILL Spend & Expense)

I have worked for Divvy since their early days from 2018 when there were just 10 engineers working on the payment processing, issuing credit cards, integrating with banks, approving loans and other tasks in this rappidly growing fintech company. I saw the company grow from 10 engineers to 250. I left after it was sold and merged to BILL.com

My work there included kind of everything since I was there very early. For a long time I was the only remote employee while the rest of the team was located in the Utah, US. I traveled few times there to meet with the team but the remote nature of the project meant that I didn't get the architect role for the whole team that I would otherwise got so for this reason I now look mostly for full remote teams.

profiq

I started working for profiq while I was still in university; in fact, I had just begun my second year when I got into QA automation at profiq. Shortly after, I decided to leave college because I was learning so much more at work, and my time was better spent there (plus, I was getting paid for it). I quickly transitioned from QA into development, working on a wide variety of projects, including early HTC Vive virtual reality applications, plugins for IDEs, a real-time Django server for synchronized watch parties inside virtual reality, and various React applications. Later, I took on partial CTO roles on behalf of profiq, for example, for Serenity
