Experience

eCommerce Website

https://www.a-comfort.ru/

This is a plumbing catalog based on the PHP framework. As a sole front-end developer, I developed the whole project using HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and jQuery. Although this was a simple project, it involved a large amount of work because of the number of pages and the amount of detail that I needed to pay attention to.

Tourism Website

https://www.kola-reserve.com

I was a front-end engineer working on this WordPress-based website. My job was to convert the XD design document to HTML. The interesting part was making image maps interactive without using a framework. I also performed the customization of Google Maps.

Educational Portal

This is a server-side rendering (SSR) application with a REST back end. I designed and implemented the whole solution, including the public and private parts. The main task was to create and approve the complex user role model, while everything else was pretty straightforward.

Video Monitoring Solution

This is a private video-streaming portal for internal company operators to monitor the situation in storehouses online. As a front-end developer, I implemented a video player and a set of features for its timeline panels, such as the video export of a chosen date and time range, video preview on the mouse hover, an intuitive timeline scale on the mouse wheel, player synchronization, and more.

Personal Blog

https://techterratales.com

A technology-focused blog mainly targeting freelancers in the tech industry.

The website's core is the latest Next.js, which uses a headless WordPress API behind the scenes.

These simple technologies and best practices helped achieve a solid 95-100 points on Google Page Insights and a seamless user experience.
