Happy Friday!….It’s been two weeks since we completed our fantastic crowdcube raise and our team has grown!
Since completion, we have worked closely with crowdcube to smoothly move everything along to the next step, also this week especially we have been planning for our investors drinks meeting (tonight!), but that’s not all, we have some exciting developments!
We would like to introduce you to our two newest team members, Deivis Kuqo and Xheni Haxhiu. They join us for design (Deivis) and development (Xheni) and they are already hard at work.
We have already had a first view of how some of the genomes.io screens will look and are discussing in depth what we would like to see implemented into the software. Hopefully we will be sharing these with you soon and we will also be giving you the first look at the crowdcube swag!
In the meantime, let’s take time to give a warm welcome to our new team members and get to know them a little better.
Deivis Kuqo

My name is Deivis Kuqo and I am currently focused on UX/UI design for genomes.io, I studied at the “Jordan Misja” Artistic High School in Tirana, Albania, followed by completing a Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts and Graphic Design from the Academy Of Art University. I then worked as a graphic designer before focussing on web design and user interfacing in more recent times. I like to collaborate with people, teams, and businesses to develop design systems, strategies, and processes to do better and more interesting creative work.
I mainly use Adobe XD to create wireframes and prototyping, then Photoshop & Illustrator to make it more interesting and produce beautiful works.
When I’m not working on my designs I like to paint, create Artworks, play sports, run and concentrate on my fitness.
I’m really excited to be working with team genomes.io and can’t wait to show you our product ideas.
Xheni Haxhiu

My name is Xheni Haxhiu, I am a software developer tasked with creating the back-end of genomes.io so that it operates as smoothly as possible. I have excellent experience in analysis, design, development, testing and implementation of various web-based applications. I like to go beyond what is expected of a developer to that of a user advocate, designer, developer and tester.
The technologies I usually work with are: PHP, Laravel, Codeigniter, Javascript, SQL, jQuery, Ajax, Bootstrap, HTML, CSS. I am also experienced in Database administration and management with MySQL tools, XML, Software Lifecycle & Joomla.
I have a Bachelor degree in Computer Science and Business Economics from the University of Tirana. In my spare time I am studying a Masters Degree in Information Security. I am passionate about open source platforms, user experience, web analytics, changing web standards, Agile methodologies and efficient product delivery.
As genomes.io grows, so will its functionality, this is a great project to be involved with.
