Utilizing a set of Amazon Web Services, e.g. Elastic Transcoder, SNS, SQS, Cloud Formation and more, build a fully automated, background-running  workflow to transcode any user uploaded videos to HLS containers for best quality and performance streaming and playing. In an environment where users are uploading videos of all kind of types, quality and formats, the hosting application must do the best to provide streaming of those videos in the best possible quality and performance, no matter the source type.

Build a framework to execute concurrent background jobs based on Redis PUB/SUB, Docker Containers, AWS Cloud Formation (Lambda functions, SNS, SQS) and Node.js. Facilitates on-demand containers spawn-run-and-die mechanic, pushing life notifications to client browsers over WebSockets. The multi-tenant nature of the surrounding application requires extremely careful work on per-user/per-tenant jobs execution, prioritization of jobs, permission handling. Also, the technology stack was a challenge since the process requires mixing all kind of knowledge and tools - from cloud based containerization, through Redis based caching and job scheduling mechanic, to using several different languages in a mixed environment (hardware and software).

A Qt Framework based, cross platform, desktop application for Mac, Windows and Linux to connect to infinite number of Redis servers and manage Redis databases - a highly valuable tool for every DevOps and system administrator where Redis NoSQL databases are involved. Allows database and kesy management, export and import data, terminal access.

Enrich and improve e-Learning platform, at that time based on formal learning materials only (e.g. courses), to offer learners other two learning channels as well - informal learning and relationship engagement. The resulting work transformed the platform in a place where users and teachers/tutors were enabled to share all kind of media content, connect to assigned or emerged experts, comment and question the content as well as attend Q&A sessions, live or in a forum-like manner. The content and social activity is organized and presented in a channel form, to allow easy navigation and knowledge categorization while not formally and strictly separated by type.

We’ve been part of the development process for years, building a large e-learning platform for one of our exclusive partners, Docebo, Italy. It is a powerful learning management system (LMS), equipped with an impressive suite of apps and features with the flexibility to adapt to individual organizational needs. Based on subscription business model, it helps small, medium and enterprise class customers to deliver formal and informal knowledge and information to their employees or clients. It uses huge amount of on-premise and cloud technology stack, and comprises of rich user interface, complex and heavy back end, utilizing e-learning standards like SCORM, TinCan, AICC, Video streaming, as well as informal learning methodologies like coaching, media sharing, community engagement.
