My experience in detail

I started out as a freelancer back in 2017 and continued as a full-stack Javascript developer at major Eastern European IT companies.

I am dedicated to staying updated with the latest trends and news in my tech stack. Advocate for infrastructure as code and software development automation.

Fluency in written and spoken English enables me to work seamlessly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. I possess a business-facing and product-centric mentality, without compromising code quality and maintainability.

I promote proper backlog management and am passionate about maintaining a clean and transparent task tracking workflow, so the business and management can safely manage their expectations.

With a solid background in remote work, I am comfortable with remote collaboration. My leadership skills, combined with empathetic listening abilities, make me an effective team player and communicator.

Prefer front-end or full-stack positions.
