Experienced Flutter Developer
During my journey as a Full Stack Software Developer, I further honed my expertise by dedicating six months to an intensive internship at a startup named Tnker, specializing in advanced Flutter principles and packages. Working with technologies such as Bloc, Provider, and local storage ..., and following the MVVM and MVC architecture, I gained in-depth knowledge of these frameworks and applied them to develop sophisticated mobile applications.
One of my standout achievements was conceiving, single-handedly developing, and bringing to life Staffy, a powerful Flutter application designed to revolutionize work management. Staffy offers features such as effortless time tracking, seamless communication, multilingual support, personalization, geolocation integration, and an admin dashboard for comprehensive management.
In building Staffy, I utilized essential packages and tools such as GetX for state management, navigation, and local storage. I integrated Google Maps API to display maps and user locations, ensuring employees are within the designated areas before sign-in/sign-out. The app follows the MVVM architecture and is ready for production, marking a significant milestone in my journey as an Experienced Flutter Developer.
Co-Founder and Lead Mobile Developer at Allcarta
Over the past year, as a co-founder and project lead at Allcarta, I developed three mobile applications from scratch, backed by APIs, optimized with clean architecture principles, and tailored state management. These apps were designed to meet diverse needs across various user types:
AllCarta Club: A gamified e-commerce app for students that allows them to earn points by playing quizzes and other games, which can be redeemed for discount vouchers from various brands. The app offers a seamless user experience, combining entertainment and shopping in one platform.
AllCarta Pro: A versatile application catering to multiple user roles, including brand owners who can manage articles, coupons, and discounts, as well as view statistics and validate purchases. It also supports club presidents and members for managing employees, events, and offers, as well as the AllCarta team for card activation and user activity tracking.
AllCarta School: An app designed to digitize university processes, allowing students to view their schedules, tasks, grades, and payments. It also provides parents with the ability to monitor their children's academic activities and offers specific access for university presidents, teachers, and staff to manage their respective roles efficiently.
My role as a co-founder and lead developer involved end-to-end development, optimization, and maintenance of these apps, highlighting my commitment to creating impactful digital solutions in dynamic startup environments.
