Camp Management System

I'm extremely proud of this project. I travelled and stayed a couple of days first as a guest, during this period I gathered requirements from owners. Interacted with staff in Kitchen, waiters until I understood the whole picture.
It was important that the workflow is simple so that staff could use it, so I started paying attention in supermarkets and food chains and see how their systems were designed. There are three apps working together here. Reservation system, Kitchen/Cashier system and Inventory management system. I developed everything, Architecture, UI and backend. And I'm mostly proud of the UI as the staff loved it.

Interests

Apart from being an Engineer, I'm crazy about music.
I play guitar, also started to study music production and beat making lately.

Fun fact about me. Music is what made me learn development in the first place. I wanted to develop a music app that lets you listen to music with your partner wherever they are, also chat about what you're listening in realtime. I ended up learning iOS development and then started doing freelancing jobs.
