I started working on the back-end as a junior .net developer. Later on I also was responsible for developing the Cordova phonegap hybrid mobile app with Javascript, HTML and CSS. I was involved with the project for a little over a year.
I was also involved in implementing crucial functionalities like the querying and localization of nearby restaurants and also building big part of the hybrid mobile application and connecting it to the backend API.
Challenges:
Building and maintaining a huge and scalable web application is a test of capability and excellence.
Hundreds of thousands of daily active users and reservations sharpened our skills as developers and was the main challenge.

In the last two years of the project I was the team leader and architect of the project.
Challenges:
The project was developed as a white-labeling solution that was used to build several other crowdfunding web applications, such as Thundafund and Trillionfund.
Crafting a custom shopping cart and fully customizable white-labeling solution that was capable of providing clients with different styling themes, configurations, databases, resources and payment provider integrations was both a challenging and a very rewarding task.
Regular deployments and management of multiple versions and environments was also an enriching experience. Good organization skills and a strict procedure allowed for achieving high standards and overcoming any difficulties that we faced.
