Experience

Aug 2023 - Jul 2024

Aeroidea

Frontend Engineer

  1. Joined the team during the project design phase before the first MVP.

  2. Developed separate packages for design system components and helper functions, necessary for supporting multiple projects.

  3. Provided assistance and conducted code reviews for junior developers in the team.

  4. Implemented content creation functionality in the admin panel. Administrators could create various blocks (descriptions, sliders, product selections by category, event slides, and more).

  5. This allowed administrators to create unique pages for different events, promotions, and advertising campaigns, and remove them when no longer needed.

  6. This solution was also used for customizing advertising banners and promotions within the application.

  7. The application was built on Next.js. To optimize performance, a significant portion of backend requests was moved to the server-side, with some remaining on the client-side.

  8. Performed fine-tuning of page caching for faster page load times.

  9. Addressed the needs of users with disabilities: implemented themes with high contrast, as well as options for increasing font sizes and letter spacing.

Zoftify

Frontend Engineer

  1. Made significant contributions to the development of a web application using cutting-edge technologies and tools, including the Next.js framework. Actively involved in all stages of development, from design to implementation and optimization.

  2. Meticulously optimized bundle size and page loading speed, resulting in improved performance and user experience of the application.

  3. Created and customized administrative panels for both internal company projects and clients. The flexible and intuitive interface of the administrative panels allowed users to easily manage content and customize application settings.

  4. Actively participated in the development of an innovative application aimed at providing various specialized services such as massage, hairdressing, and more. This application demonstrates my ability to implement complex functional requirements and adapt to various business scenarios.

  5. In addition to core technologies like Stripe for payments, Chart.js for data visualization, and Tailwind for styling, I continuously strive to learn and implement new tools and approaches to ensure high quality and innovation in my work.

Interesting Experience

During my tenure at School Bus Manager, Zoftify, and Helium10, I encountered a range of interesting and challenging tasks that required a creative approach and deep knowledge in frontend development.

  1. Project migration to new technologies: Transitioning projects to modern technologies such as TypeScript, Vite, and Next.js 13 presented significant challenges due to the large amount of legacy code and dependencies. This required not only technical expertise but also strategic planning and teamwork to ensure a smooth transition without disrupting application functionality.

  2. Application performance optimization: Working with projects that had large datasets and complex structures necessitated a deep understanding of performance optimization principles. Implementing virtual scrolling, lazy loading, and data caching significantly improved application performance and responsiveness.

  3. Implementation of complex functional requirements: Developing administrative panels with dynamic content creation and configuration capabilities, as well as a system for monitoring prices and advertising campaigns, posed complex challenges that required not only a deep understanding of business logic but also careful user interface design and development.

These experiences not only allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills in frontend development but also taught me to solve complex problems, collaborate in teams, and find creative solutions.
