What I can do

I develop software for more than 10 years, mostly web applications. I solved problems in different domains, led teams, mentored colleagues, was part of product and outsourcing teams, worked remotely and on-site.

I could help you to collect requirements, transfer knowledge, onboard new members, lay the foundation for a new app, design and implement key functionality or refactor the hairy one.

I'm familiar with agile methodologies, continuous delivery, test and behaviour driven development, also like pair programming.

Technologies I have worked with

  • Languages: I usually spent time with back-end systems and worked with Ruby, Clojure, SQL. I also gained some knowledge in front-end during working with TypeScript.

  • Databases: PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redis.

  • Others: Rails, RabbitMQ, AWS, Git, etc.

Domains I have worked with

  • Enterprise learning
  • Personal insurance in USA
  • Visual analytics for retail banks
  • Real estate
  • Virtual data rooms
  • Affiliate programs
  • Review sites
  • E-commerce
  • Crawling and parsing
  • Content management systems

Latest projects
