Subcontracting work for various clients that have ordered our services. Mainly involved building new web add native apps depending on the needs of the customer. I got to work with various tech such as Kotlin and React Native.
Notable Projects
Remote control for light switches
Project involved using Android of Things to control German light switches used in buildings to provide some remote debugging capabilities for hardware engineers. We’ve identified that due to the proprietary nature of such switches, it was not uncommon for them to have issues that would require personel to travel on-site to fix. There were some amount of remote capabilities we could bake in, potentially saving some number of man-hours.
Car History
Client wanted to provide a better looking solution for customers to view car history online, such as ownerships, maintenance schedule, etc. This required integration to the Finnish Traffic System (Trafi) that unfortunately only had XML API that required a lot of manual parsing.
Achievement
One of the key achievements at my work was writing a wrapper for an XML parser npm library in TypeScript.
Working with a type system on top allowed us to greatly reduce the number of errors while working with a very outdated API used by a Finnish Traffic system.
