Frontend Web Developer - Tikal

Tikal has been a home for many experienced developers (for 20 years) in the fields of Front-End, Back-End, Dev-Ops, & mobile.

I have been a part of the Front-End division, and as so, assigned to clients' teams, on-premise,
to assist with any Front-End needs which are aligned with Tikal spirit of constant personal-technological development.

Many times the need is to bring someone who can join or lead a team and bring the company products to the next level, utilizing the full potential of Tikal as a whole and me as a single person, to achieve tasks such as re-design, building from scratch or tackling complex scenarios.

Expert React knowledge

Frontend Web Developer (Team-leader, Freelance) - EMC Corporation

Spearheaded a front-end development team, building a large-scale SaaS system from the ground-up, end-to-end, including tests. The system has multiple screens, varying from heavily animated D3-based ones to a screen packed with different components which act as a dashboard.

There were many interesting challenges including security, performance, server-side considerations, collaboration with multiple distant-location teams, sudden big product changes and so on. Intense work.

In the end, the product was exceptionally well-made, the front-end code was very performant and scalable.

✔ Build a large-scale system with dozens of custom components

✔ Make sure all the client-side code in the project is of the highest quality possible, as well as high performance, and by doing so, ensure high life-span for the project, minimizing technical debt.

✔ Supervise team-members with tasks, teach and help where / when needed, and make sure standards are kept high.

✔ Daily collaboration with off-shore teams across multiple countries

✔ Project is built on ES6 modules using my own proprietary setup (Gulp, Rollup, and many other packages which greatly enhance workflow, which some I authored).

Front-End Developer (Co-Founder) - GuruShots

Sole front-end developer & creator of a photography-contests-based social-network website. Intense times, working many long days with great joy of accomplishment. It truly was a masterpiece, drawing users engagement around the world with lots of positive feedback.

There was a lot of work around building the contest section where users voted which photos they liked, and photos uploading, with all the limitations and validation that comes with it.

Also, managing the "wall" page for the contest, which is basically like any Facebook feed, with photos and comments, and replies to comments (content validation, sanitization and so on).

Front-End Developer (Freelance) - SPORTARENA

Developed the client-side sports scoring system in 2012, working remotely, collaborating with a team in Tel-Aviv. The project was ready after a few weeks.

In 2014 I was asked to help develop another system, in a programming "marathon" of less than two weeks, which shows live soccer games fans comments and field events in real-time (it was made especially for the World Cup)

APR 13 - DEC 13

Front-End Developer (Freelance) - 90min/Minute Media

Freelanced, semi-regular basis, up until 2015.

Was tasked with the client-side coding of several major website redesigns and a couple of side-projects, working on-site alongside a wonderful team of people. Some are my friends to this day.

We, the team, worked for a long time on the first website redesign, many long days from 9am-3am and some weekends. The website was to be changed from a server-based, static-website to a single-page website with a complete new architecture based on Backbone framework and new UI/UX.

The second re-design was with another team, with new full-time team members, and the pressure was lower this time, but still we pushed hard and made significant changes to the website.

Front End Developer (Freelance) -  SimilarWeb

Client-side work on the main (paid) SaaS product, for advanced analytics.

My responsibility was to deliver on time CSS & HTML, while another team-member, Sagiv Frankel,
was tasked with the JS mainly, and the rest of the members were helping us with various tasks.

I joined Kaltura as the 7th employee, and my first task was to create client code for the website where videos were supposed to be placed, and back then video wasn't nearly as big as it is today and the web technologies were very much crippled.

✔️ Build a client code for a forum system so users can talk with us and each other,
✔️ Create custom Kaltura video players for clients
✔️ Create novel effects for the Flex-based video editor.
✔️ Create custom landing pages for clients
✔️ Apply website redesigns that were made over a 2 year period
