Philosophy

AI-driven development

I specialize in leveraging AI to streamline routine processes such as generating commit messages, writing automated tests, producing documentation, and managing code reviews and pull requests.

I created custom prompt library, ready for immediate implementation, which can boost productivity by up to 100%.

Lightning-fast project start

I identified frequently recurring functionalities across various applications, and developed a comprehensive library of reusable components and utilities. This library enables rapid project initiation, allowing me to deliver a functional prototype in record time.

Considering the amount of work put in this library, I am saving about $30k for projects starting from scratch

Contract-Driven Development

Imagine being able to eliminate guesswork, build trust, and streamline communication across your entire software delivery pipeline—before a single line of implementation code is written. That’s what contract-driven development brings to the table.

By defining clear, testable contracts up front, your team aligns instantly on the what and how of your APIs, empowering developers, testers, and product managers to work in harmony. The result? Robust, future-proofed integrations that can adapt gracefully to new business requirements. With contract-driven development, you’ll deliver high-quality software at a faster pace, keep stakeholders happy, and set your products apart with a standard of excellence everyone can rely on. In short, it’s not just a methodology—it's a smarter, more predictable path to success.

Owner’s Mindset

Having worked in product companies, I treat every line of code like it's part of a product I personally own. From ideation to user experience, I'm driven to refine, improve, and go the extra mile—ensuring every release meets the highest standards for both performance and impact.

Software Development Constitution

I believe nothing fosters efficient collaboration better than a clear, unified ruleset.

wI’ve created a Software Development Constitution covering coding standards, commit messages, naming conventions, and PR review guidelines—ensuring every team member aligns on best practices and delivers top-quality results.

Storybook

I advocate for leveraging the full potential of Storybook's ecosystem.

I specialize in enabling its capabilities across diverse teams, including design, QA, management, frontend, and backend. My expertise includes setting up comprehensive environments for early demos, and testing. I craft components with complete lifecycle support, incorporating variants, themes, and seamless mocked API interactions.

Alpha testing

I believe, early testing based on requirements and designs, conducted in cooperation with design, product, QA, backend, and frontend teams is essential to the product success. This practice allows to finds bugs early in SDLC, leading to reduced project costs and improved development efficiency.

Valuable skills

Fluent English

With a philosophy degree in English Philology and certification from the British Council, I’ve built my career at global product companies, bridging language and cultural gaps through precise, engaging communication. My expertise ensures seamless collaboration in any international setting.

UX/UI

As a front-end developer with a keen focus on UI/UX, I bridge the gap between design and development.

My experience includes creating design systems and implementing complex Figma projects for WEB and VR, ensuring seamless, user-centered products. This holistic skill set fosters collaboration with design teams and delivers polished, intuitive interfaces.

Technical Writing

With a philology degree and extensive experience, I excel in crafting documentation for complex systems and supervising technical writing teams.

I integrate AI-powered solutions to enhance efficiency, utilizing tools like GitHub, wikis, and Storybook for seamless documentation. My expertise includes integrating code documentation in Storybook and developing custom-tailored documentation to meet project-specific needs.

Process management

Specialized in designing and implementing clear, effective, and self-sustaining development processes that prioritize team comfort and productivity. Expertise includes formal documentation-based code reviews, PR/MR supervision, process documentation, and leveraging tools like Jira with automation to streamline workflows and enhance transparency.

Requirement engineering

Skilled in gathering and analyzing requirements while implementing tech-supported traceability systems. I excel at conducting reviews and fostering effective collaboration among QA, business, and development teams to ensure comprehensive and actionable requirement management.

Quality Assurance

I have deep expertise in QA domain (6+yoe), enabling me to enhance collaboration with QA teams, efficiently design testing environments, perform early-stage bug detection, and implement quality-focused practices that reduce costs and ensure robust deliverables.

Mentoring

I am a skilled mentor with a track record of rapidly advancing team members from junior to strong middle levels. My best case is successfully guiding a trainee to achieve a middle-level role in just three months. I utilize a proprietary learning framework based on neuropsychology principles to enhance knowledge retention and skill development effectively.

Interviewing

I have extensive experience in interviewing candidates.

After conducting more than 100 interviews, I developed a unique, objective evaluation process grounded in a custom skills matrix spanning key software development domains. Each interview results in a transparent, metrics-driven report within just one hour. This can streamline hiring, save time, and confidently choose the right talent, backed by data rather than subjective opinions.

Public speaking

With years of experience presenting ideas, products, and companies to large audiences, I turn complex concepts into clear, engaging stories that inspire action. Whether it's a pitch, a keynote, or a demo, I know how to own the stage and win the room.

Backend engineering

While I don’t primarily position myself as a backend engineer, I bring valuable experience in the field, particularly with the MERN stack, Prisma, and AWS Lightsail. This expertise allows me to contribute effectively to backend development tasks as part of a comprehensive project solution.
