(2007 - 2008)

[Elitec.ee](http://elitec.ee/)

Elitec was a small Estonian web studio operating in the local market in 2007-2008 and partly connected to Medicum. The company combined short-term client projects on a custom CMS and LAMP stack with support for more complex systems in the government and healthcare sectors. Notable work included a Google Calendar-like calendar module, registration systems for Medicum and Silmalaser.ee, and support for RMK.ee document management, which was originally developed at ADM Interactive.


## My experience

This was an early stage of my career, after which I moved on to long-term product projects. One memorable detail is that, to get the job, I had to write an e-commerce prototype in PHP in three hours.

- Developed short-term projects on a custom CMS (LAMP stack)
- Developed a calendar module for the CMS with a draggable Google Calendar-like UI
- Supported the RMK.ee document management system (Postgres)
- Gained experience with SVN, Oracle, PHP Zend Framework and Prototype.js

## Projects

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| ⭐️ [RMK](http://www.rmk.ee/) | Internal document system for the Estonian State Forest Management Center. Like EIQA, the project was initially developed at ADM Interactive, but when the volume of work exceeded a reasonable support scope, development was handed over to third parties. PostgreSQL, custom templates, lots of legacy code, gigabyte-sized databases, CVS branching. |
| ⭐️ [Medicum](http://www.medicum.ee/) registration | Very large Oracle 9 database of clients, schedules and doctors. Reworked an outdated registration system. Two independent companies estimated the work at more than 800,000 kroons. |
| [NSA.ee](http://www.nsa.ee/) | Information site for the Ministry of Defense. Migrated the site from its existing engine to Joomla. Completed it in about 10 hours: transferred the design, updated the menu and content, and worked through the CMS. |
| [Silmalaser.ee](http://silmalaser.ee/) | Medical vision-correction company. Oracle registration module integrated with MIS (the Medicum information system). Built a PEAR-like business-logic layer (Model in MVC) and tried xajax for forms. |
| Calendar | Ajax calendar module functionally similar to Google Calendar and Kiko. Used Scriptaculous for drag-and-drop events, email invitations, iCal compatibility with MS Outlook and user free/busy views. |
| Registration system | Conceptually similar to the Medicum registration system, but based on MySQL and using one working-time range instead of pre-generated free slots. |
