Projects
Web app - Mad Science
Apr 2018 - Current
This is the official website of the company Mad Science Ltd. , Bulgaria. It gives the users possibility to request digital services that the company offers. The following include development of web platforms and its integration with a lot of 3rd party services like Google Analytics or Facebook Messenger. The website is written in React using Redux as a state and flow management library. The back-end and database storage is in Google Firebase as well as all its analytics and the place where it is hosted.
Demo website - The demo website currently has a lot of placeholder info and media until the actual "content" is poured in.
Web app - BooksExchange
Feb 2018 - Current
A platform inspired by the BookCrossing initiative and the trends of shared economy. The main idea is to give people the possibility to connect with others that have a given book in a given region and exchange one book for
another without actually putting any monetary value in the exchanged books. This way small communities can be created within cities/regions/counties or even within a company/school or university. The biggest goal is to
create the biggest open library that enables the books to travel all over the world. Future thoughts for the platform is to implement a blockchain (possibly Hyperledger) solution so that all exchanges can be kept
in a ledger.
For the front-end we are using React.js with the material design MDL Lite library for styling the interface. For the back-end we are using ASP.NET Core with EF Core and SQL Server.
