Hi, I'm Ivan.

I create web apps.

Three cool projects built by me.

Prima Auth

Prima Auth

Symfony, Doctrine, oAuth2, RESTful API, PHPUnit

TV Prima's user management, local and third party login system and user API used on the website with around 2,5 million visitors monthly. The project has a robust backend part written in Symfony, but also the frontend part for users and the administration area.

Translation System

PHP, js/jQuery, AJAX, MySQL

A brand new internal translation system which will be integrated with the current Asimut system, used by leading schools of performing arts from all over the world. User can benefit from an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface, including keyboard shortcuts, sorting, intelligent importing and input handling, saving to the database through AJAX and exporting translations into the live system only by one click.

PHP, MySQL, Bootstrap, custom framework

A prototype website made as a student group project. I worked mostly on the backend part, which uses a basic custom PHP framework written from scratch. I learnt about routing, MVC pattern and later it helped me a lot in understanding the Symfony Framework.

Features. (No, no bugs, I promise!)

Rich functionality

PHP (Symfony Framework), JavaScript (jQuery), MySQL/PostgreSQL/Doctrine ORM, HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap 3, Git, Bash scripting, oAuth2,... - you name it and I have been using it or at least was passing by.

User friendly

People describe me as a highly motivated and responsible person. I have strong writing and communication skills thanks to my background in journalism, public speaking and organizing social events.

Customizable

I am eager to learn. I enjoy working for companies where I can gain new skills and be helpful as much as possible. No boring office jobs with repetitive tasks, please.

Tested

I have already a broad professional and volunteering experience. Okay, I might be telling you fairytales about myself, but you know what? You can easily find out what others think about me and my work.

What users say.
