  Full-stack Developper (Jul 2024)

  I was approached by Richard Poelderl to work on Procurato, a Next.js app designed to provide a better UI for querying the German company database handelsregister.de and retrieving information such as titles, capital, and registration documents. My responsibilities included:

  • Migrating the app’s data-fetching process to Inngest, a background job service, to improve performance, as the app previously fetched documents directly on request, leading to slow response times.
  • Implementing new features to query and download historical documents, including the list of shareholders and documents related to various fundraising stages.

• modular cloud

  Full-stack Developper (Sep 2023 to May 2024)

  I joined Modular Cloud as a full-stack developer in September 2023, initially as a contractor, and became full-time in November. ModularCloud builds open-source tools for blockchain developers, and I primarily worked on a block explorer for viewing blockchain data. My key responsibilities included:

  • Migrating the project from its old design to a new design system in collaboration with a designer.
  • Implementing an Electron port for a local developer-friendly version of the app.
  • Improving the codebase and resolving performance issues as new features were added.

  • Configuring a root Google Cloud Platform load balancer to deploy all services with Google Cloud Run (for APIs) and Cloud Storage (for frontend), migrating old services to a fully cloud-based environment.

• Gh-next

  creator and maintainer

  A GitHub clone built with Next.js, utilizing the new App Router paradigm and server components. The goal was to recreate GitHub’s UI and core functionality from the ground up. Key features include a custom-built issue search page, from database design to UI, closely mirroring GitHub’s backend structure. Additionally, the UI was enhanced with a more effective keyword highlighting system in the search input.

  

• Who wants to win sh*tcoins?

  contributor

  The streamer silvereledev organised a charity event in December 2022 bringing together several streamers in the programming sphere of twitch for a 48H live-streaming marathon, called the dev-event, a nod to the zevent organised by twitch streamer Zerator. As part of this event, I participated in an open-source project to run the event: “Who wants to win sh*tcoins?” a nod to the tv game Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? but whose reward is a virtual currency called sh*tcoin 💩 😄.

  Thullo is a clone of Trello, a project management application with a Kanban board. It allows you to create projects (“boards”), define tasks (“cards”) and organize them in a list, invite members and assign them tasks, change their status (e.g. to do, in progress, completed) and add labels to these tasks.
