Veiligzondermoeite started out as a experiment from ABN Amro to help their cybersecurity office create awareness with clients of ABN Amro. There are alot of cybersecurity treats that are just not preventable with a technical solution like a firewall or password resets. Human engineering is currently quite hot. Just imagine, some hacker hacked the CEO’s email account, then the CEO goes on a well deserved vacation, and then the hacks sends an email to the chief of finance to pay 10K to some IBAN account. This is a case that you can prevent with awareness and that’s why The main ingredient was tasked by ABN Amro to create this app.

My role in this project:

• Build a Node.js backend to supply the app with content and send Push notifications when new content is added

They also have a great designer, i was really impressed with the speed and accuracy that he can execute an idea or feeling into assets. Then TMI itself, it was great working with these guys, they really know how to manage Agile projects and it was fun!

HalloRoos - SNS experiment

Rails - Roos API - Heroku

HalloRoos is a contract alarm platform where users can set alarms for contracts that will expire in the future so that they can switch providers on time. HalloRoos was looking to extend their functionality and needed a developer to help them reach their goals. The subject itself is somewhat sensitive, but it comes down to a pretty selection then order flow with allot of validations and constraints. Each step is communicated to an API provided to store and manage the data.

My role in this project:

• Build the pages as described in Rails using Slim, Sass, and CoffeeScript
• Connect the pages to virtual models so that we can apply validations
• Persist the validated models to the provided API
