• TheFloorr (January 2021 - present day), UK startup

  Full stack engineer

  TheFloorr is a UK startup for luxury shoppers and shopper consultants.

  It consists of four applications all of which I've built alone:

  • Main website for visitors and clients.
  • Editorial app, where Editors compose looks, Consultants compose looks and moodboards for clients, Contributors explore catalogue of products and generate trackable links.
  • Admin app for user management, Commissions Analytics, Accounting and many other functions.
  • Mobile app (currently in development) for clients and consultants.

  All apps use GraphQL to access database.
  All apps use shared code from a monorepo. Some of the React components are cross-platform compatible between web and mobile app.

  There is a in-app chat integrated with Twilio/Whatsapp.

  Behind the scenes lambdas download product catalogues with millions of products from retailer networks, transform these catalogue into a consumable form for CloudSearch and Postgres using Glue (python).

  Integrations: CJ, Awin, Rakuten, Partnerize; Twilio; GetResponse.

  The purpose of this UK startup was to connect developers and designers via Design System. A design system would contain all the styling information (font sizes, spacings, color palette, etc). It can be viewed by clients, exported to pdf and to css or json design tokens. Developers could edit css or json locally and submit changes back to Design System via local npm cli script.

  I've built the public app for viewing and editing the styles. The project was closed due to lack of funding.

  • Micro EC instance with python and shell scripts collecing information from hundreds of thousands of requests per minute.

  Back in the prehistoric age before Google Analytics this was a PHP app that tracked and analyzed natural and paid traffic.
  Actions, conversions, funnels, ROI, campaign performance, etc - most of the things one expects to see in GA.

  As part of our business I've also built a client area where clients could buy a new license and extend or upgrade existing one.
  It had an integration with payment gate (I don't remember the name) and some admin functions like statistics, reports and ability to generate free licenses and promo codes.
