Co-Founder and Full Stack Developer

Co-founded electronic shop Swison in Denmark, Aarhus, 2016. In this venture I was doing full web development with PHP, Javascript, HTML/CSS, databases and framework called Laravel.

Programming included solving difficult issues like checkout, product categorization, availability and security in order to make it work reliably and implement all the features that we wanted. E-shop features custom computer options available for customers, each part has it’s own properties in the database, that’s why it is possible to know if a particular part can work with other parts.
