Frontend Developer

Summary

As a meticulous Frontend developer with over six years of experience, I am deeply passionate about crafting scalable and flexible solutions in code and firmly adhere to a usability-first approach. In my most recent project, I successfully implemented performance optimization techniques, resulting in a 15% increase in user engagement and a 3% uptick in average check.

I relish working on complex tasks, embracing challenging goals, and continuously learning and sharing my knowledge with my colleagues. Through my work, I continually challenge my brain to seek the best opportunities for creative and systematic task fulfillment.

For the past two years, I have also taken on the role of mentoring novice developers and organizing meetups for developers in Moscow.

Based in The Netherlands, I possess a residence and working permit with no limitations (no visa sponsorship needed). Remote work is preferred.
