Participated twice a month as a trainer at workshops for primary-school children where we taught basic programming using online tools, mainly Scratch.

• Worked on a Vue app, that scores a given website (screenshot or URL) on a set of UIX design metrics researched in the Aalto User Interfaces department. I have upgraded Webpack configurations and frontend dependencies, implemented result dynamic plotting and improved backend logging.
• Created a Figma plugin that communicates to the user a set of color palettes generated by a machine learning model that could improve their design. I have modeled and written the backend application using FastAPI, I have decided the data interfaces and collaborated with integrating the model.

Managed a delivery tracking web application of over 50 000 orders, using Git versioning, AngularJS, Bootstrap, Grunt and proprietary REST APIs. Fixed interface bugs, shortened the load time by removing 7 unused dependencies and added 5 new client functionalities while pushing over 75 commits. Reduced main app size by 20% and an order tracking page by 90% by using ES6 instead of jQuery.

• Eliminated more than 12 active UX issues by rewriting the C++ dialog system in over 120 commits, 6000 lines changed and reducing code length by 10%.

• Implemented JavaScript polyfills that reproduce, in browsers, SVG functionality which exists in Inkscape but has been dropped by the SVG2 specification draft.
• Had over 60 commits in 4 feature branches over 4 months, using JavaScript and the GTK+ toolkit.

• Developed, in a team of two, over 12 iterations, an intended-use conversational workflow demo of the Etsimo service capabilities, deployed from a Node.js server with a Preact chat interface.
• Written from the bottom up a new TypeScript library that exposes Etsimo’s API for developer use, helps with type checking for JavaScript apps and has automated unit tests.
