Call Assistant
Co-Founder / CTO
Call Assistant AI is a mobile app that helps fighting against spam and robocalls.
Similar to what Google does when screening calls on Pixel Phones, Call Assistant is a... more solution that runs in the Cloud + VoIP and not on the device allowing calls to be screened on any Android or iPhone.
Call Assistant makes extensive use of AI to engage with callers in an autonomous way, a feature called autopilot. It also uses AI to detect if what the callers are saying is spam in real time, generate voicemail greetings and summarize calls that have long transcriptions.
The system runs on AWS Elastic Beanstalk on Java + Spring + SpringBoot and uses MongoDB as the persistence layer with Redis as the cache layer.
Started as a monolith and is being broken down in pieces as points of failure and performance issues are identified.
The iOS app is developed on Swift and Java + Kotlin for Android
Call Assistant is a fully remote company

WanderSafe by Jozu for Women
Founder-CTO
WanderSafe WanderSafe is a Bluetooth device and smartphone companion application that allows users to send alerts to selected contacts if they feel unsafe. It is possible... more to track the user's location and establish a VoIP connection between peers.
The best way to explain WanderSafe is as "Waze for Personal Safety." Users can add tips and pins to the map that are marked as either safe or unsafe. If a user enters an area marked as unsafe, it triggers notifications on their device. Emergency contacts can also establish voice connections via VoIP with the user.
The system is hosted on Azure and is currently a monolith server running on PHP/Laravel. Initially, PostgreSQL was used for its geospatial capabilities, but eventually, MySQL spatial extensions were utilized instead. The persistence layer is handled by MySQL and a Redis cache layer is used on top of it.
The iOS app was built with Swift and the Android app with Kotlin. The WanderSafe and Jozu For Women Inc are fully remote .

eBuddy
Co-Founder, CTO
eBuddy was an Instant Messaging aggregator that was available for mobile and desktop browsers before Android or iOS were around. Before apps like WhatsApp or Telegram, people... more communicated via Instant Messaging applications like AOL Messenger, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, and others on their desktop computers. eBuddy's app would connect to these different messaging services and maintain the chat sessions on their servers, which was important because many companies had network administrators who blocked access to these services and even prohibited installation of the applications on company laptops. All that was needed to use eBuddy was a browser and an internet connection, making it an instant success.
The project started as a monolith server and soon began breaking off into different services and layers; for example, each messaging network had its own cluster, another system maintained the sessions, and different clients had their own cluster (Android, iOS, web). Revenue came from ads on the app, for which a semi-automated system was developed to manage bidding and provide important data to the Sales and Marketing departments.
When Apple's iPhone and Google's Android systems became available, and AWS and the concept of Cloud Computing became mainstream, eBuddy had to adapt to the new environment. Initially, they ran their own servers at the data center, but eventually they started migrating some parts of the system while being conscious of the costs, given that they already had a platform paid for and AWS pricing wasn't as attractive as it is currently.
In a span of nine years, eBuddy grew from a hobby to a multinational company with over 350 million users.
