DESCRIPTION

Serve The City is a nonprofit that connects volunteers with local charitable organizations. My primary responsibility was to modernize, refactor, and create a PWA of the ServeNow mobile application, enhancing performance, speed, and user experience. I led the end-to-end development effort in close collaboration with the project manager, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery.

TASKS & ACHIEVEMENTS

• Led a complete refactor of the ServeNow Mobile App (both front and back end), boosting performance and maintainability.

• Migrated the RESTful API from PHP to Node.js + Express, adding new routes and logic to streamline client-server communication.

• Enhanced the front end with React Ionic, implemented Redux for state management, and added multi-language support, enabling successful multi-region features.

• Designed a caching strategy (local cache, Redis, Redux) and introduced OpenAPI documentation for the RESTful API.

• Established robust testing practices, reducing bugs introduced during deployment and improving code reliability.

• Created a Progressive Web App (PWA) version of the mobile application that is now accessible via

web.servenow.app

• Set up CI/CD pipelines using Docker, GitHub Actions, and Azure to automate deployments, increase frequency, and minimize manual errors.

• Collaborated with the project manager to define scope, prioritize tasks, and ensure timely, high-quality deliveries.

DESCRIPTION

StorySprout is an AI-driven platform for generating personalized children's stories. I built it from the ground up as a self-initiative project to give parents and caregivers a quick, interactive way to craft custom narratives. Each story features unique images and optional voice narration, and a subscription model allows users to generate additional stories on demand.

TASKS & ACHIEVEMENTS

• Built the front end in Vue, then migrated to Nuxt (leveraging Nuxt UI Pro) for improved UX and efficient rendering.

• Created a RESTful API with Django and the Django REST Framework for a robust authentication system and a comprehensive user dashboard.

• Integrated OpenAI and Anthropic APIs to generate children's stories (text, illustrations, and audio), enhancing storytelling capabilities.

• Established thorough backend testing, streamlining deployments, and minimizing production issues.

• Integrated Stripe for subscription management, enabling seamless payments and recurring revenue.

• Set up CI/CD pipelines using Docker, GitHub Actions, and Azure for automated builds, tests, and deployments.
