My passion lies in building, taking to markets and growing new SaaS products in a start-up environment or in a corporate agile-friendly environment where I can lead a cross-functional team and deliver quality solutions that delight customers.

Portfolio

Delerica

Designed and developed a fundraising platform for non-profits. Delerica is a SaaS that allows non-profits to sign-up, connect their Stripe account to receive payments, create fundraising campaigns in 135+ currencies using an intuitive website builder, launch them on their own domain and raise funding for their projects. I built the platform from scratch using Laravel in the backend and Vue.js on the front-end. This is a very complex project with the following features: - Connect with Stripe API allowing organization to receive payments directly to their Stripe account while Delerica receives a commission automatically from each transaction. - Allows organizations to run their campaigns on Delerica subdomain (i.e. yourcharity.delerica.com) or on their own domain/subdomain (e.g. yourcharity.org or donate.yourcharity.org) - Allows to add/remove modify content blocks of various types (gallery, subscription form, progress bar, etc.) - Allows global styling for all campaign pages
