  Filmdrive

  Sept 2017 - Feb 2019

  Frontend Developer & Cofounder

  A movie-on-demand startup servicing over 100 returning subscribers in Alimosho, Lagos for eight months within the one and half years the company ran. - I used React.js to develop the entire front-end dashboard and online platform for Filmdrive, a video-on-demand startup.- I implemented a subscription platform that uses code generated from the platform backend so as to solve trust-related issues from the customers and to avoid getting card details to the customers.- I implemented a couple of other features like the total movies gig calculator and customer distance estimator from the feedback I got from customers. These two features enable a more efficient delivery as the deliveries from the same location can easily be grouped together based on the distance estimator.-I also built a couple of other projects including an event networking app and a football live scores app. Show less
