Lead Developer

Eventelo was a location based, social-network-aware mobile application (So-Lo-Mo) focused on solving one problem – discovery of great events nearby.

Open it up and it would show you all interesting events in your city (Facebook events data, and more), with each day of the week and the weekend clearly separated with easy to use UI controls. Your Facebook friends would show up as mini avatars – attendees to particular events.

This combination of great UI and social media connectivity made for a useful app for anyone looking for interesting things to do.

After developing an MVP, we got to around 100-500 active users. As a direct consumer application, it was difficult for us to promote the app and match the quality of existing mobile apps users were accustomed to. Without funding, we've abandoned the project.

If you're interested, ask me for more details ;-).

- Creating the best CI setup possible (< 10 minutes pipelines)
- Continuing company's transformation to cloud-native tools using Docker containers
- Quantifying our organisation performance through DevOps metrics (Lead Commit Time, Deployment Frequency, Mean Time To Restore, Failure Rate)
