Fullstack development
React/Typescript/Apollo/Tailwind/Kotlin
Leading the team of 2 people (I’m the 3rd).
Made a product from scratch based on two independent systems. Our work was to unite them (React/Redux/Node.js and Angular/PHP). MVP was released in 1.5 months (2x times faster than expected), we used telegram-bot for it.
The second round of development was about 2.5 months (as was estimated). After production release of our live-dashboard, the amount of deals has exponential growth (from dozens to hundreds in a month)!
Decomposing huge tasks after designing it, write code, review code, trying to help my team to grow their skills though interesting and complicated tasks.

- implemented framework for e2e tests, wrote some tests on critical functionality. It improved testing and deploying process
- made devtools for our project: traces, bug-report, A/B tests management. It decreased MANY times process of testing new fatures by managers
- wrote cool virtual-scroller amonth other. It was 2x times lighter that previous one, and also SSR time was decreased by 25%

- took a part in production release of our project
- helped junior guys grow to middle level
Was developing large project of web-bank by myself. Cool stuff:
- made whole web-bank app to be Accessible for disabled people. There were cool keyboard and voiceover navigation (it was cool because of tree-like structure, not plain)
- made `SRP`-system for our bank (SRP: system of rapid payments). Our bank was one of the first who did it. It was attractive for new customers
- made sub-app for maintain Self employment customers. It was a time when they begun to appear, because of new legislation. It was good impact for attracting new customers. We served about 5.000 of them
- made feature for closing all bank products (we were closing at that time). It was complex step-by-step form (accounts, cards, deposits, overdrafts, bonuses and etc.)
Had developed and maintained projects from scratch as frontender and fullstack developer (nodejs)
