T.L;D.R.: Mee is a knowledge organization platform. It allows users to put information into cards placed on boards, enforcing order and curatorship. The kind of input accepted is markdown text, web links, images, and videos. My role on this project is managing the product and architecting its software. I get to identify business rules, write them down as specifications and expose that in SCRUM meetings. This ensures Mee's development team can implement features and fix bugs while knowing how their day-to-day activities relate to the big picture. Architecture in a glimpse: Mee's system consists of a react front-end, serverless backend, DynamoDB database, and integrations with third-party payment systems, SSO and others.

Cerensa Web App Version 3 is a sustainability platform that, like its second version, contains multiple solutions for sustainability, ESG, and compliance. During its development, I directly helped with the Solid Waste Management product, whose scope and business have changed so much since v2 that the software needed to be remade from the ground up. This time I got the chance to collaborate even more tightly and from the beginning with business analysis, specifications, and software architecture. Most of the UX design and mock-ups were done by me using Figma. And the front-end project was architected solely by me, within a team that helped to bring it to life. - 🏆 In 2021, the company Cerensa was awarded first place in the ESG Inovabra Recognition. That was published in Forbes. Architecture in a glimpse: Cerensa v3 Solid Waste's system is a MySQL, Kubernetes, Java, and Angular app. I mainly worked on its front end, so I'll describe only its architecture. At the front end, we used both custom components and prime-ng.
