Rubi CRM

Full Stack Software Developer
October 2021 - Present

Confidence - Creativity - Collaboration - Strategic planning - Process analysis

Rubi CRM is a web application that helps businesses manage memberships, trainings, events and data about their sales and customers. On a day-to-day basis, as part of a small team of developers, I was working on fixing bugs and adding new features to the Rubi application. Since I was a part of a team now, when developing solutions, I primarily focused on producing clean and robust code. Moreover, when implementing new, or improving current, features, due to the broad audience of users, I always aimed to enhance the overall users' experience. That's why I introduced skeleton loaders, unobtrusive but clear error notifications and other components which helped the users navigate around the app.
Apart from working on the front-end of the web app, I spent a big portion of my time on optimizing SQL queries by adding indexes, reducing heavy write operations and revising JOINs and WHERE clauses.
One of my bigger projects for the Rubi web application, was a complete rewrite of the existing reporting module. When developing Rubi Reports v2 I focused on developing a solution that had robust, clean, easy to understand code and also to make it easier for Rubi users to produce meaningful reports. I reduced the amount of complex code by 80% and eliminated most of the errors. The 'entry point' for users for creating reports has been decreased by using icons, tips, and clear layout for the page.
I have also worked on integrating Sage 50 accounting system, enabling Rubi's users to synchronize their customers' details, invoices, credit notes and transaction receipts between Rubi and their accounting software.
Last but not least, I have developed a custom KPI reporting web application for one of our biggest customers which helped them report on their KPIs. The users could view their data in a grid, pivot or chart format and also export it to Excel.

Glasgow Caledonian University

Computer Games (Software Development) Bsc (Hons)
2017 - 2021
First-Cass Honours

Main modules:
Fundamentals of Computing - Games Programming - Human Computer Interaction - Working with Game Engines - Integrated Projects - Graphics Programming - Game Artificial Intelligence - Mobile Games Development - Artificial Intelligence - Mobile Platform Development

Dissertation subject:
Investigating the impact of integrating voice recognition technology on players' game experience in First Person Shooter games.

Each module tackled a different aspect of software development, with the focus of course on developing computer games. Despite the computer games being the target of each module, the studies have taught me how the life cycle of any software development project looks and how to keep to the schedule and deadlines with the given tasks. Moreover, hence to all the different modules I had to complete, I have gained a diverse skill set and I learned how to address any type of issue, not strictly software related.
Throughout my studies, I undertook diverse projects. I have coded scripts for Linux OS, designed a game using C++ and SDL2 libraries, developed a game based on an island, worked within a team to create a 2D arcade game. Another team project I was a part of, was to create a 3D game for two players. I have also worked with XML files and used different algorithms, such as merge sort, for my WGE coursework and also created a game for mobile phones.
Finally, I have implemented Azure Cognitive Services Speech Recognition technology into my Honours project, which allows the players to make decisions affecting the game using their own voice.
