In the past three years, I have been deeply involved in spearheading a sustainability-focused project, centered around the development of a cutting-edge SaaS platform tailored for measuring environmental impact. This platform, created from the ground up, extends its reach beyond the confines of the fashion industry, while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability. Leveraging existing applications and technologies, our team embarked on a transformative journey to enhance our capabilities and provide a comprehensive solution.

The initial phase of the project involved the creation of a robust system for tracking impacts, with a particular emphasis on manual entries through an admin app dashboard. A key component of this endeavor was the development of a wholesale offsets feature, enabling individuals to offset their contributions to environmental issues associated with various items, such as waste disposal. My responsibilities encompassed working on both the frontend (Angular app) and backend (Node.js), utilizing AWS stacks with SQS and SNS, and deploying services as tasks in AWS Fargate.

Following the successful implementation of these features, our focus shifted to exposing public APIs to our user base. This involved extensive utilization of Node.js, AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS), SQS, SNS, and SES. To streamline documentation and ensure clarity, we adopted OpenAPI specifications and Redoc, deploying the entire system using CloudFront and S3.

Building on this foundation, we embarked on a new and ambitious project centered around Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This multifaceted initiative required the development of several applications:

1. Customer Application: A user-friendly interface for interacting with the platform.
2. LCA Application: Dedicated to managing core LCA data.
3. LCA Engine: Responsible for calculating environmental footprints based on LCA core data and user inputs.
4. Supply Chain: Facilitates the creation of supply chains for products, including template chains.

Embracing Domain-Driven Design principles, we structured our core services, including LCA service, LCA Engine, and Supply Chain service. The technology stack employed for this project comprised AWS services such as ECS Fargate, SQS, SNS, CloudFormation, S3, CloudFront, Lambda, EC2, SES, Route 53, Load Balancer, Step Functions, and RDS. This comprehensive architecture ensured scalability, reliability, and efficiency throughout the LCA project.

In summary, these three years have been marked by innovation, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of sustainability in the ever-evolving landscape of the fashion industry and beyond.

Over the course of my tenure at SEFU, I played a fundamental role in the design and development of SEFU, a comprehensive product dedicated to community management in residential complexes. This Mobile and web application was built from the ground up and equipped with a myriad of features tailored for the seamless management of residential apartment communities, including Security Management, Accounts Management, and Software Management.

Security Management:

Under the umbrella of Security Management, we developed a suite of applications catering to various stakeholders:

React Native App for Customer: Offering a user-friendly interface for residents.

React Native App for Security: Empowering security personnel with mobile capabilities.

Super Admin App: An Angular-based app for internal management.

Admin App: Angular SSR application tailored for security professionals and management personnel.

Public Website: A React App dedicated to promotional activities.

The backend infrastructure was built using Node.js, and we adopted a tenant-based approach, utilizing LightSail for running tenant-specific apps. AWS services played a crucial role in managing our infrastructure, ensuring scalability and reliability. Noteworthy features included comprehensive notification capabilities across all platforms, with React Native apps supporting Progressive Web App (PWA) functionality.

Similarly we had Accounts Management App as well , which does all accounting activities and reports

Additionally, we undertook side projects that showcased our diverse expertise:

CURABLE:

Collaborated on the development of a Mobile and Web-based consultation platform for Medical Practitioners. This comprehensive platform featured real-time Video and Audio communication capabilities, with active participation in brainstorming sessions and design discussions.

GravityHaus:

Designed and contributed to the creation of a Mobile platform for holidaymakers. This platform facilitated seamless reservation of resort accommodations, ordering of services, and booking activities such as Gym and Skiing. Engaged in discussions to ensure a user-friendly and efficient application.

IoT-based Mosquito Management:

Played a pivotal role in the development of a mobile-based application for the remote management of IoT devices. This internal project focused on detecting and neutralizing harmful mosquitoes, addressing concerns related to diseases like dengue and malaria. Collaborated closely with the team during brainstorming sessions to define parameters and functionalities for real-time monitoring.

In essence, my time at SEFU was marked by dynamic and impactful contributions, spanning community management, security, and innovative projects that showcased our team's versatility and commitment to cutting-edge solutions.

During my early career at Kroslinks, I embarked on a captivating project centered around Virtual Reality (VR) utilizing Unity 3D. The objective was to craft an immersive VR experience where users could interact with a virtual representation of buildings, complete with dynamic functionalities such as doors, movements, and simulated fire scenarios.

The core of the project involved creating an environment where users, equipped with VR glasses, could navigate through a virtual space by simply looking at the floor. To enhance user interaction, we implemented a quick menu that appeared when users focused on specific points, such as doors, for a designated time. This menu allowed users to perform various actions, including opening or closing doors and accessing other menu options.

One of the innovative features we introduced was a points-based system within the VR experience. This system was integrated into simulated drills, where users underwent training scenarios using VR devices. Points were awarded based on their performance, and this feedback mechanism allowed us to tailor further training based on identified strengths and areas for improvement. It provided a dynamic and adaptive learning experience for users engaged in the drill trainings.

The technology stack employed for this project included Unity 3D for creating the immersive VR environment, C# for programming within Unity, and Node.js for backend functionalities. This comprehensive stack enabled us to seamlessly integrate the VR application with the necessary backend components, ensuring a fluid and realistic user experience.

In summary, my involvement in this Virtual Reality project at Kroslinks was a testament to the fusion of creativity and technology. The implementation of VR glasses, interactive functionalities, and a points-based training system added a layer of realism and engagement, making it a memorable and impactful endeavor in my early career.
