Experience
Full Stack Developer - Freelance
As a Full-Stack Freelancer, I have had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, delivering high-quality solutions tailored to my clients' needs. My work spans across various frameworks and technologies, allowing me to create dynamic and responsive websites that offer an exceptional user experience. I specialize in developing services that integrate seamlessly with other APIs, ensuring that all components of the applications I build communicate effectively. Additionally, I have experience creating custom plugins for WordPress using PHP, which adds unique functionalities to my clients' websites. My commitment to staying at the forefront of technology is reflected in my use of cutting-edge tools and techniques. I’ve implemented On-demand Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) with Next.js, enhancing website performance, and I’ve hosted serverless functions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to create scalable and efficient solutions. I am always eager to learn and apply new technologies, which allows me to continually offer fresh and innovative experiences for my clients.
Fronted-End and React Native Developer @ InManage
In my role as a Front-End and React Native Developer, I specialized in building websites and mobile applications that deliver engaging user experiences. My expertise includes developing websites using jQuery, React, and Next.js, which allowed me to create modern, responsive, and dynamic web solutions. I had the privilege of working with several high-profile clients, including Domino's Pizza, McDonald's, Shlomo Sixt, Toyota Select, Grow by Meshulam, and many more. Each project required a deep understanding of the brand's needs and the ability to translate those into functional, visually appealing websites. On the mobile development side, I expanded my skill set by working with Java, Kotlin, and Objective-C. This allowed me to build robust and efficient mobile applications, ensuring a seamless experience across both Android and iOS platforms. My experience in both web and mobile development has equipped me with a versatile skill set, enabling me to tackle a wide range of projects and deliver exceptional results.
Full-Stack And React Native Developer @ InManage
I specialized in building robust server-side applications and scalable backend systems. Leveraging AWS Lambda functions with Python, I developed efficient, serverless solutions that provided high availability and reduced operational costs. My experience with server-side development also includes building custom server applications using PHP, allowing for tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of each project. In addition to my server-side expertise, I maintained a strong foundation in front-end development, continuing to use jQuery, React, and Next.js for crafting dynamic web interfaces. However, the focus of my work in this role was on creating and optimizing the backend architecture that powers both web and mobile applications. My mobile development experience, using Java, Kotlin, and Objective-C, complemented my server-side work by ensuring that the applications I built were not only user-friendly but also technically robust, providing seamless communication between the client-side and server-side components. This role allowed me to integrate advanced server-side technologies with front-end and mobile development, delivering full-stack solutions that are both powerful and versatile.
Projects
Bon Cafe
Bon Cafe, a local gem of a restaurant, needed a digital presence that reflected its charm while making it easier for customers to connect. I created a dynamic website that not only showcases their delicious menu and catering options but also streamlines the customer experience. Visitors can effortlessly explore the menu, place orders via Wolt or Ten-Bis, or even book a table directly through the site. Beyond functionality, the website highlights the essence of Bon Cafe, inviting customers to learn more about the restaurant and engage with it in meaningful ways. This project bridged the gap between Bon Cafe and its customers, making it easier to enjoy their offerings while strengthening their connection with the community.
Bon Studio
Bon Studio, a Pilates and yoga studio exclusively for women, needed a way to attract and connect with new customers. I designed and developed a sleek, user-friendly landing page tailored to their needs. The page focuses on showcasing the studio's unique offerings and inviting potential customers to leave their details through an easy-to-use lead form. The clean, modern design reflects the studio's vibe, making it appealing to their target audience while ensuring it’s optimized for conversions. This project helped Bon Studio grow its client base by turning visitors into leads with a simple yet effective online presence.
Sleek Scroll
As a full-stack developer, I’ve often been asked to customize scrollbars on websites—a challenge since pure CSS solutions lack universal browser support. To solve this, I created Sleek Scroll, an npm package designed to make customizing scrollbars both seamless and flexible. This package wraps your content and provides full control over the appearance and behavior of the scrollbar. Whether it’s adjusting colors, sizes, or styling for unique designs, Sleek Scroll ensures compatibility across all major browsers, including support for RTL layouts. It’s a lightweight, developer-friendly tool that simplifies scrollbar customization without sacrificing functionality or cross-browser support.
Students Attendance App (באזז)
The city of Givatayim needed a custom app for their weekly program, באזז, and I was thrilled to build it. This app is all about simplifying attendance management for their courses. Instructors use the app to record attendance weekly, marking which students showed up and who didn’t. They can also view all their students across various courses and access attendance insights. Additionally, the app generates detailed reports, making it easier to track participation trends over time. This project helped the program run smoothly by providing instructors with the tools they needed to stay organized and focused on teaching.
