Experience
Hesti: Real Estate Evaluation App
https://hesti.lv/enUsers can use the app to evaluate real estate with two different options.
The first option is AI-driven. I collect real estate ads with a web scraper, parse the data, and use it to train a machine learning algorithm that can predict current prices.
The second option is to view the historical data of real transactions. I use a public API to collect data on real estate transactions that the users can browse.

Yelo: Road Traffic Rule App for the 21st Century
https://yelo.lvThis is a mobile app (iOS, Android built with React Native) for learning road traffic rules in Latvia. In this project, I worked as the technical co-founder of a 3-person team. Besides being in charge of the technical aspects of the app, I collaborated closely with the designer and product owner to make decisions on how the app should be made.
Anti-corruption App
https://pretkorupciju.lv/en/dataA database with procurement data that the users can filter and analyze.
I gathered a team of developers and business analysts for a hackathon where we created a web app for collecting and showing data from a public procurement office. The tool aimed at making the data (which was stored in XML files in an unorganized manner) easy to overview and filter. The tool (Angular in the front end and Express.js in the back end) helps people to identify suspicious procurements that might involve corruption.

Used Car Price Evaluator App
https://autocena.lv/I used a web scraper (CasperJS) that gathers data from the site and stores it in a MongoDB database. The data can be visualized, edited, filtered, or deleted in an Angular 2 app. The data is used by a machine learning (neural networks) algorithm that learns to predict car prices.
