Kirill's most recent project is Recycle.me, a service which is designed to help people who want to recycle on the go to find closest public recycling bins in New York City. Kirill built the application with React, Apollo GraphQL, MongoDB, Express.js, and Node.js. Kirill used NYC open data API to save the accurate locations on the database and Google Maps API to render them.
