Full-stack Developer in London, United Kingdom

A complete redevelopment of Hardlyeverwornit (Hewi), a Sylius/Symfony-based marketplace, using new technologies. I developed the platform's front and back end and designed most of the functionalities of the minimum viable product. Later I built and managed an internal team to improve the site and develop new features.

A charity collaboration between Vogue and Hewi, which included social campaigns by the most known models in the world. I developed a SlimPHP-based bidding app. There was minimal time due to the nature of the project, and it had to be highly scalable. I consulted on designs and developed the website and architecture. The website was a large success. It survived the spikes in traffic and collected a lot of money for charities.

Development of Culture Trip, a WordPress-based site with travel advice. I led the WordPress team during the development and provided architecture design for other teams. Over my tenure, we drastically increased the back-end response times by offloading specific WP responsibilities to microservices. We also extended WordPress to work with event-based architecture.

My team supported over 100 writers, working closely with internal support and the editorial team to solve bugs and improve publishing processes. At this same time, our app served 50 million monthly users across multiple channels.

A WordPress multisite-based React app for the Stylist and Shortlist websites and other sites for a large UK publisher. I was the lead back-end developer on the project. I provided some of the DevOps work and helped on the React side of things.

Over my four-month stint in the company, we published four different sites. They all had varying amounts of customization but ran under one back end and from a singular server. We completed all the development on time, and website stats were considerably better from the first month.

A Magento 2 and WordPress website for Thames & Hudson, one of the world's largest art publishers. I led the back-end development and developed a large part of its front end.

Using Magento 2 for the transactional part, we provided clients with a good base for eCommerce development. On the other hand, integrating WordPress and the Advanced Custom Fields plugin provided easier content editions and more flexibility in editing content than the Magento tools could offer.

A Magento 1 website for one of the most known English fashion brands. I was a tech lead on a project, which was generally a straightforward transactional site that required few custom solutions, including a localized Chinese UX and Weibo integration, custom stock management, order processing, and reporting integrations. I also managed the horizontal scalability for high-profile collaborations with other brands.
