I was responsible for building Kotlin Backend, React Administration Portal, Flutter mobile app, DevOps in GitLab. From software perspective team had a lot of API development for both sides: in-house developed APIs that are used by own services and clients equally as consumed by external parties, and integration with external systems, for example payment solutions. I acted as a team leader as well, building team relations with 1on1s and creating a safe space for engineers to learn and grow.
