I am working on web service APIs for mobile media applications (mostly Android smartphone apps for clients such as HTC, KDDI and others) used by millions of people. My main responsibility is developing, testing and maintaining RESTful web service APIs written in PHP. Zend Framework is used as basis of our codebase. Other used technologies include SVN, git, FreeBSD, VMware virtualization tools, JIRA and more.

I worked on a project for a major telco company to integrate an old legacy system with a new generation CRM system. I used JDeveloper to create ABC (Application Business Connector) services that would act as an interface between a legacy system and EBS (Enterprise Business Service). Involved technologies were XML, XSD, XSLT, SOAP, BPEL.

Main part of the project I worked on was to develop an e-learning web portal which would allow employees to complete occupational safety and fire protection courses required by law in their web browser. It is being used by major companies in Slovakia such as T-Systems. The e-learning application also needed to be integrated with a legacy CRM system which was the second part of the project. My main responsibility was for the first part of the project, the e-learning portal. However, I also worked on some extra functionality for the legacy CRM system and on updating and maintaining older company websites. Involved technologies were PHP (Zend Framework), MySQL, HTML, CSS and JavaScript (jQuery).

I have programmed this website from scratch using rigorously tested and reliable Zend Framework MVC. I have also been working on an off on my own content management system which has provided me up to this day with lots of high quality reusable code. Involved technologies were PHP (Zend Framework), MySQL, HTML, CSS and JavaScript (jQuery).
