I was a part of the Terapify product team, primarily focusing on the backend area. However, I also actively contributed to the frontend aspects, which provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the entire product development cycle. From the initial concept to taking it into production, this experience allowed me to grasp the full scope of product development.One of the significant challenges I encountered was during an internal hackathon, where I successfully transformed an idea into a fully functional task tracking system for psychologists and patients. In this project, I had the opportunity to work on both the frontend and backend components, demonstrating my versatility and ability to bridge the gap between user interface design and backend logic.

As a member of the hospital's IT team, my main task was to create a custom ERP system for the hospital. To achieve this, we had to thoroughly understand the functionality of the existing ERP system in use at that time. I gained valuable experience in working closely with people as we constantly gathered requirements from various hospital departments, understood their needs, and translated them into code to meet their requirements efficiently and in a user-friendly manner.I collaborated extensively across departments, gathering feedback and requirements to ensure the ERP system aligned with the needs of each hospital area.
