Experience
Extremely High-traffic Media Website
This project was one of the biggest achievements of my career—an extremely high-traffic project serving up to 1.5 million users per day. I worked on it for three years as a senior front-end developer.
My everyday tasks mainly focused on code quality and optimization to achieve the best performance and load times under various conditions. This included building back-end tools supporting the project, some of them were plain PHP/jQuery applications and some of the tools were already written in Angular.
The project was built by an agile team working in a scrum environment. Unfortunately, I am unable to share the link to the project.

OS Library | WordPress Architecture Stack and Starter Theme
https://github.com/LowGravityPL/RaccoonWPMy own open-source library used as a starter kit for building optimal, performant WordPress architectures. It uses plenty of best practices and tools which are state of the art in 2018 (for example, Webpack 4).
It focuses on security, ease of configuration of environments, and improved deployments and performance. The main selling point is that it tackles is data separation. It also comes with a starter theme based on Twig. The library was released recently but the most of the code of this library runs on production websites that I've built in the past.
