Software engineer at Aspose building a JSON-driven PowerPoint chart engine with .NET and Aspose.Slides.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Message

At Aspose, I designed and developed a JSON-driven PowerPoint chart generation engine for Cambridge Associates using .NET and Aspose.Slides. It supports multiple chart types, tables, helper text, and reusable presentation components.

I improved rendering performance with parallel slide generation, thread-safe template reuse, caching, and memory optimizations. I’m also expanding the chart engine into a PowerPoint book generation platform with backend services for report generation and PNG previews.

Previously at Evona, I developed backend services and REST APIs for betting and casino platforms, including wallet, jackpot, and payment-provider features. I also provided enterprise technical support at Aspose, investigating document-processing issues across production environments.
