What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and growth.

I am a front-end developer with hands-on experience in creating dynamic user interfaces and navigating complex challenges. My journey began at the School of Mathematics, where I developed a strong foundation in programming and design. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various technologies, including Typescript, ReactJS, and HTML5, which I utilized to build sophisticated UI components and improve app performance.

During my tenure at EPAM Systems, I advanced from a Junior Frontend Developer to a Senior Frontend Developer, where I mentored juniors, conducted code reviews, and led projects that required a proactive approach and effective communication. I take pride in my ability to create reusable components and implement responsive designs, ensuring that applications are not only functional but also user-friendly.
