I led a team of frontend engineers to create Material Bank’s new consumer e-commerce store — designshop.com. A pixel-perfect web app was delivered helping customers to renovate their homes by offering next-day delivery of material samples. The app also featured a visual configurator, enabling users to apply materials in realistic 3D environments.

Being a co-founder in a startup with a team of two was an exciting journey, which ultimately led to our acquisition by Guitar.com. Our goal was to provide people with an online platform to learn guitar and music through playing tabs and musical exercises. My main focus was on developing the tab player, the core feature of our service.

I served as a web and mobile engineer to ship the latest version of the Blick.ch news portal. Blick.ch is the online platform of the Swiss tabloid newspaper "Blick," published by the Ringier Group. Established in 1959, Blick has become one of Switzerland’s most popular newspapers, renowned for its sensationalist journalism and emphasis on current events, entertainment, and sports. In 2020, Blick reached 1.2 million daily users for the first time, marking a 42 percent increase from the previous year. As of August 2023, Blick is the most visited news website in Switzerland.

Personal projects

It started with a kitchen conversation where my friend shared with me an idea that he had been obsessed with for a long time — writing a fiction book. Six months later the final draft was out of his pen, and I stepped in to bring the book to life in stores. I orchestrated editors, correctors, art works, photo sets, social media promotions and other multiple activities to give the book its final form that made it a product people loved. The storyline made a deep emotional connection with a lot of readers, as you can see from small excerpt of positives reviews below.

Everyone wants to hear these four most important words: “Subscribe to my Soundcloud” (no 😄). Sometimes my obsession with music turns into me producing my own tracks. It’s sure very satisfying to see people listening to your music every day. More tracks to come, stay tuned!
