• Lead a team of 10+ people in dev, devops, QA, PM roles and provided
prioritization and clear description of new work.
• Defined strategies to improve a platform with regular downtimes and
payment issues.
• Architected a full refactor of .NET SOAP services into a Go REST API. Planned
for solutions to existing issues like race conditions, data integrity, down
services, loss of connection, slepp-based timing.
• Mentored and synchronized a team working on frontend, backend, mobile
apps and devops. Worked with PO and PM for correct prioritization of work
for everyone.
• Prototyped a complete UX redesign of the platform.
• Proposed new features and changes to existing ones. Provided
documentation and definition for the chosen changes.
• Worked as a fullstack dev covering Vue and React frontends, .NET and Go
backends, infrastructure changes and building and publishing changes to
mobile apps.

• Owned the Introduction to DSA and OOP subjects for 10th and 11th grade.
DSA uses C and covers several categories of algorhytms like sorting,

lambdas, testing with jUnit and Mockito, small services with Spring Boot and
simple graphics with lwjgl.
• Continuously worked on improving the structure, plan and topics of the
subjects.
• Guided students in problem solving and creating their own algorhytms.

tempo for all classes.
• Started a club to prepare students for programming contests.
• Supported students wishing to dive deeper in the topics or Java

• Worked on various small and large apps using pure HTML, .NET MVC, jQuery,
Angular, Vue, React.
• Defined strategies for seamless migration between different frontend
frameworks. Worked on both migration from an outdated/legacy version to
latest and from one framework to another. Made possible for a single app
to work with multiple versions of Vue and React with full transparancy and
minimal boilerplate.
• Defined and enforced high code quality standards for a large distributed
team with different experience levels.
• Worked closely with backend teams to sufficiently support the defined goals
and needs of the apps. Contributed to APIs based on Java+Dropwizard,
.NET+Entity Framework and NodeJS. Often reviewed, provided feedback and
suggested improvements.

of collaboration. This includes transitional periods of mixed use of several
frameworks.
