Hi! I am Lilia and I am a Learning Dollars software engineer. I specialize in Python and JavaScript development. And, I have done projects in various fields like a teacher student marketplace, AWS infrastructure management, a javascript AST code parser in a continuous integration system, and visual novels.
My first demo is Strumclub, a website that connects music teachers with students.
For Strumclub development I used a React frontend with a Django REST Framework backend. The two are connected by API calls using fetch in the frontend. I created the following features:
My second demo is a visual novel “The gift of Cthulhu”.
For creating this game I used the Ren’py engine that was written in Python. First I created and customized the graphical user interface. The main interactive elements used in the game are choice buttons and dialogues. There are several main storylines in the game and more than one ending. At the same time, the logic of the game is quite simple, the development of the plot depends only on the choice of the player which is made by clicking on one of the buttons in the displayed menu. The player can also save and load the game and change the options such as the speed with which text appears, sound volume and other parameters.
Thank you for watching my demos and I look forward to working with you!

Hi! I am Lauro and I am a Learning Dollars software engineer. I specialize in Server and Mobile App Development with Python, ReactJS, and React Native. I have done projects in mobile app development and back-end RESTful server development. I’m deeply interested in meditation, exercising and reading, and these three activities are a consistent part of my daily routine.
My first demo is the mobile app SangeetaSudha, focused on presenting server data to the final user. The stages involved in the development of the app were:
My second demo is my personal website, lauromuller.co, developed based on WordPress and customized with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. The website is hosted in AWS, giving it flexibility and scalability for future improvements. This is a simple project form the programming perspective, but it strongly highlights my approach towards design and UX. The main characteristics of the project are:

Hi! I am Pavel and I am a Learning Dollars software engineer. I specialize in developing applications for mobile and web platforms. I have done projects in e-commerce, CRM, and automation.
My first demo is CRM.
This is a deeply customized version of an open source application called SugarCRM. It was used by a company with 15 operators calling potential customers and returning clients. After several years of work, the size of the database increased to hundreds of thousands of records and searching became too slow. More than 30 seconds was required to search in a worst case.
The application’s database was implemented in MySQL using about a hundred tables with many relations and indexes. It had PHP backend and HTML frontend. I worked on the server backend. I implemented caching of a sophisticated data model in a plain key-value database that allowed to reduce the search time to 2 seconds. I used Mongo database. Thereafter, the search time did not increase even when the database became 5 times bigger. The client was fully satisfied.
Let’s check another demo.
It is an application for iOS and Android allowing users to sell or buy various services.
I used the React Native framework for a mobile client. Also, I used the Django framework for the backend. The application uses external login via Facebook, the device’s camera for taking selfies, and Amazon storage for uploading photos.
I will never stop wondering how well put together these frameworks are! They allowed me to quickly and reliably create native-looking mobile applications for both platforms using the same code base. I really like it.

Hi! I am Srinivas, a Java engineer who specializes in J2EE, Web Services, Spring, Hibernate, Progress BPM, Reporting tools like ESpreadsheet, BirtViewer and UI frameworks like Jquery, JSF, and bootstrap. I have recently started working on projects using python, nodeJS and React JS. I have done projects in the domains of healthcare, finance, and utilities. Outside work, I’m deeply interested in reading fiction novels, watching movies and short films, and knowing about various mythological facts.
My first demo is an Airline E-Ticketing System. This system is being used for booking domestic flights within Nepal for Dev Travel and Tours Pvt Ltd. Stated below are few features of the system that i will be covering as part of the demo.
My second demo is regarding a JSX parser I worked on. This parser is used to validate wiki rules pertaining to JSX elements (HTML DOM elements) that were defined for a webapp boilerplate system. Notice how when I run the parser in terminal it breaks down the target file into its AST tree, and then it recursively walks through the tree checking that style rules are being followed or not. Stated below are high level steps as part of the parser.
Thank you for watching my demo and I look forward to working with you!

Hi! I am Adeyinka and I am a Learning Dollars software engineer. I specialize in Javascript, Nodejs, React and Python. I have done projects in web applications and some bit of game development. Thinking and creating are hobbies to me so I enjoy singing, dancing, acting, cooking, playing chess, but to mention a few.
My first demo is an Uptime Monitoring App built purely with Nodejs (no dependencies) and vanilla Javascript ( very little HTML and CSS as the focus of this app is on the back end).
This application allows you to create an account as a user, have an active token as a signed up and logged in user and create a maximum list of 5 websites that you want to monitor.
Here is the home page, the sign up page and the login page. There are validations for the inputs on the signup and login with appropriate error or success messages. On successful login, you find yourself on your dashboard with a list of all checks you have created. You can create/add a new check and find it in the list of checks. You can also view/edit/delete a check.
You can edit your details in the account settings page however just the name and password are editable. You can also delete your account if you are longer interested in having an account. This would delete all checks you have if any and delete every detail related to you as well.
If you enter a valid phone number, you should get an sms when the status of any of the websites you are monitoring changes.
My second demo is a Document Management System built with Nodejs and React and Redux.
This application allows you to manage documents, users and user roles. On successful login, you get to see all documents you have access to (public and private) in a paginated format. You can create documents, edit your own documents, delete your own documents.
As an admin, you can see a list of all users in a paginated format as well and promote/demote other users. You can also perform a live search for users and also for documents.
Thank you for watching my demos and I look forward to working with you!

Our college class wanted to create a private, highly interactive, “community” website that we could use to keep in touch and prepare for a major reunion. We thought that a highly customized Drupal or Wordpress site could meet our needs. After presenting Learning Dollars with a set of specifications, we were delighted to have Hitesh, a Wordpress developer, help us refine our thinking and ultimately deliver a very sophisticated, demanding project on budget.
As a 5-time CEO of VC-backed companies, I have worked with many teams, both onshore and offshore, in India and Eastern Europe, and I can say that Hitesh at Learning Dollars did an excellent job, highly efficiently and with a very positive attitude. He was a delight to work with. I will not hesitate to use Learning Dollars again when another project comes up.
Working with Lilia through Learning Dollars was a pleasure. She consistently exceeded my expectations with her thoroughness and energy for the project. She seemed to be on the job 24/7, and I was impressed with her level of internal review. I would absolutely recommend Learning Dollars and use their services again.
Learning Dollars provides the best way I’ve seen to involve top-notch engineers at a moment’s notice. We needed someone who could take a glance at our code and quickly integrate several aspects of our platform. There wasn’t time for a long recruitment process, or for sifting through online proposals. Without Learning Dollars, we would have struggled to find such a high quality engineer on such a short timeline.
The team at Learning Dollars is organized and responsive. These are real people helping you, not an algorithm or a feedback form. They care about your experience, and they care about the results. They’ve built a solid operation with the attention to detail you’d expect in your own product. If you’re looking for high quality freelance work without all the hassle, Learning Dollars should be your first stop.
Working with Learning Dollars was a great experience. I was able to get backend, frontend, and devops help all in one place. Aldian (the engineer) had good communication skills, delivered high quality work, and was flexible. I will definitely be coming back.
The quality that I think makes Learning Dollars engineers most valuable are their embrace of new technical challenges. While working on the beta version of Doornox, the engineer and I encountered several small bugs and larger technical challenges that the engineer had never programmed before. The engineer quickly researched similar issues using online resources, consulted comparable challenges in his past projects, and used the analysis of careful trial and error in our code to implement quite complex technical features into the website. I am confident that if there is a newfound technical problem, our Learning Dollars engineer has the drive, the technical ability, and the analytical techniques to solve the problem. Learning Dollars engineers knows how to find solutions. This quality is by far the highest asset for any programmer.
We, ECAdvisor Corp, worked with an engineer from Learning Dollars ... to build our phase 1 product: personalized extracurriculars recommendation service to enrich students lives. The work interaction is efficient and pleasant.
Our engineer enabled us to push phase 1 cloud based product to production with expected budget.
Our engineer had good knowledge on cutting edge technologies as well as passion on business. He fully analyzed product requirements and UI mocks provided to him, architected the full stack of software (Django, DB, Cloud instance), and contributed to the core implementation. He also has good project management skills to lead our team members for execution.
We would like to recommend Learning Dollars to the companies that need to build modern web appearance, or bring their business to digital world.
The engineer from Learning Dollars made us a site that we could have never put together otherwise. Our business will greatly benefit from this major revamp.
I liked how smooth and straightforward the process was. The engineer understood what I wanted very well. Because the protect involved image recognition of content on my screen, the engineer screenshared with me through Zoom and I could let him control my screen to fine tune features.
ESL Hunter is a site that connects English teaching institutions in East Asia to instructors in the U.S. and other countries. In July 2018, we had completed most of the back-end coding for our site, but we did not have the expertise to work on the front-end coding.
We contacted Learning Dollars to help us finish the site, and we were connected with an outstanding engineer named Lauro. Lauro completed the tasks we gave him promptly, his communication with our team was excellent, and the quality of his work was outstanding.
The most unique aspect of Learning Dollars was the ease in which we were able to get the work we needed completed. The Learning Dollars process, including messaging, contracts and billing, made it easy for our team to use the service. And something that I expected would be painful like hiring a software engineer actually ended up being a very fun and affordable experience. I would highly recommend anyone looking for software services in the future to use Learning Dollars!
