Work Experience
Senior Front-end Engineer
TRIVA INC (via Toptal)
- Managed to maintain the clean code for over 4+ years. By using functional reactive programming, incremental refactoring, and rigorous code reviews.
- Observed and learned about domain specifics and nuances. This, in turn, allowed me to develop and maintain domain-specific Angular components over the years. These components provided a solid foundation for the rest of the project.
- Responded rapidly to user requests with my teammates thanks to clean code and fundamental components allowing new features, bug fixes, changes to existing features, etc. We never missed the deadline and always were ahead of schedule.
- Conducted rigorous code reviews and used it as a mentoring opportunity. Provided frequent live demos about the code issues and examined potential solutions. Thus, teammates rapidly developed their front-end skills and increased productivity.

Experience
PFP | Security Solutions
. State/3entity management
. Caching
. Error handling
. Form building, validation, and processing
. Session management
. Handling various CSS styles
I also documented the guiding principles for extending a functionality rapidly without compromising code quality(readability/testability). In addition, I assisted the front-end team during the initial phase of the project, reviewed the code changes, and pinpointed potential design/implementation flaws for new features.
Avastar | Event Technology Solutions
• Contributed to every phase of development.
• Implemented responsive dashboards using Angular 5+ with extremely complex user interactions, including nested tables, multi-level modals, etc.
• Led the team of three front-end engineers.
• Collaborated in designing and building RESTful API's using spring framework, as well as setting up infrastructure on AWS using Docker and ECS.
• Most importantly rigorously advocated and implemented automation for every step of the delivery process.
• Used Jenkins as a deployment pipeline which included automated build, unit and E2E testing, as well as deployments in multiple environments (development, staging, production) and obtaining manual approval between certain steps.
Angular 4 Coaching
English Learning Training System
https://abi.abz.ge/The system contains video tutorials with interactive exercises. Essentially there are two parts of the system: a user-facing interface and an administrator dashboard.
Angular 4 was used to implement the front-end side, while the APIs were implemented using Node.js. The system runs on AWS, for the container orchestration ECS is used, and SPAs are hosted on S3. The system also includes heavy video processing after uploading video tutorials, online payments (with a local bank), and user subscription management.
Children English Tutorials | Video Portal
http://abz.geI created back-end APIs using Node.js and a content management dashboard with Vue.js. I also did some SEO optimizations. The project is deployed on AWS with automatic deployments using CircleCI. The SPAs are deployed on S3 while the APIs are running on EC2 instances inside Docker containers.
WolfPack | Website
https://www.wolfpack.run/Besides the dashboard, users can log in to their profile through a web portal which is also implemented on Angular. Here they can explore, plan, and create new runs. Heavy use of Google maps was necessary for achieving a high-quality user experience.
