Livia Lika
About
I'm Livia Lika, a Software Engineer based in Tirana. I build modern web applications from concept to launch, working across Java and Spring Boot, C# and .NET, TypeScript and Node.js, Python, PHP, JavaScript, and MySQL.
I care about the whole picture: architecture that stays clean as projects grow, interfaces people actually enjoy using, and communication that keeps clients in the loop instead of in the dark.
I'd rather build something solid and explain it clearly than impress anyone with jargon. I'm always open to new projects and collaborations. If you need software built carefully and delivered honestly, let's talk.

I'm a Full-Stack Developer and Software Engineer who enjoys turning a rough idea into a working system, then making sure it holds up as it grows. My toolkit spans Java and Spring Boot, C# and .NET, TypeScript and Node.js, Python, PHP, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and MySQL, and I hold a Master of Science in Computer Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Tirana.
That range comes from moving across different kinds of work rather than staying in one lane. At Intermedia, I built hotel management software used by real businesses, from booking engines to channel managers. At Ketri Web, I focused on the front end, turning designs into responsive interfaces and wiring them up to APIs. More recently, I've worked as a freelance Web Developer on Upwork, managing client projects end-to-end, and I currently build Salesforce solutions at O5 Operations using Apex, Lightning Components, and Flow automation. In between, at Acromax Media, I stepped outside pure development to manage digital rights, content protection, and monetization across platforms like YouTube and Facebook, work that sharpened my precision and gave me a much clearer sense of how software decisions affect a business's bottom line.

Portfolio
Some of the projects I have worked on, showing my skills in full-stack development and web applications.
Attendance Management System
Students find out they've crossed the 20% absence threshold automatically, before it's too late, not after.
Desktop application in C# and .NET where students check in to class with an RFID card or QR code; the system records attendance per session and generates printable reports.
Online Food Ordering Application
A virtual restaurant that lets a non-technical business go online and take orders without friction.
Built with Java, Spring Boot, and MySQL, customers browse dishes by category, each with ingredients and serving details, and order online. Includes a full admin panel.
Copyright Content Detection
YouTube's Content ID is only available to major rights holders. This gives independent creators an equivalent.
Combines Chromaprint audio fingerprinting, perceptual video hashing, and LLM-based semantic analysis of titles and descriptions into a single similarity score that catches reposts a single signal would miss.
Expense Tracker CLI
A type-safe expense tracker where failure can't pass through silently, every operation returns an explicit result instead of throwing.
Personal finance CLI written in TypeScript and Node.js, with a lightweight Express web UI on top of the same logic. Add, list, and delete expenses from the terminal or through a REST API served alongside a static frontend, backed by flat-file JSON storage.
SalesFlow
Raw retail transactions rarely arrive clean, SalesFlow validates every row against a strict schema and quarantines the bad ones with a specific reason instead of dropping them silently.
Python ETL and analytics pipeline that aggregates valid records into monthly revenue trends and category/region rankings, then persists them to SQLite and CSV with matplotlib charts and an auto-generated report. 95% test coverage, full CI.
TaskFlow API
A Jira-style project management API built to show production PHP practices, not just CRUD: policy-based authorization, queued jobs, and cache invalidation done right.
Multi-tenant Laravel REST API for managing projects, tasks, and team roles, backed by Sanctum auth, PHPStan level 6, Pint, and a PHPUnit suite running in CI. Fully containerized with Docker Compose, API-first with live Swagger docs.
Services
From the first idea to the final deploy here's what I can build and manage for you.

Digital Content & Rights Management
Content protection, copyright management, and monetization on YouTube and Facebook helping creators and media companies safeguard and grow their digital assets.
