    Software Developer

    Neo7even

    I joined Neo7even as part of a brand new team with the intention to kickstart an innovative startup project. While at it I’ve worked with PHP and Javascript to create a group of separate web app prototypes. I was able to lay out the base for the project data access layer, code part of the corporate website, scaffold the web backend and develop a javascript based (with requirejs, jquery, jquery UI and some more bits) editing app. On the backend I used a custom built PHP framework (not my decision) and MySQL.
