Position: Junior Python Developer
Category: Python
Experience: 1 years | English: upper

I completed a two-month internship at SoftServe as a Python-Django developer. During my time there, I implemented a library website project and enhanced my skills in Django, Django Rest Framework, object-oriented programming (OOP), unit testing, and automated testing using Selenium. I also gained experience in Docker for visualization and honed my teamwork skills.

Additionally, I created a portfolio website for a photographer that attracts new clients every week. The website was built using Django with templates, connected to a PostgreSQL database, and deployed on a reliable hosting platform, Heroku.

In 2016, I obtained a Cambridge FCE Certificate, which confirms my upper-intermediate (B2) level of English proficiency. Since then, I have continuously been advancing my skills and currently operate at a proficiency level of C1. I am also studying French and Dutch, while Ukrainian and Russian are my native languages.
As part of a small, young team of enthusiasts, I am working on the development of an educational platform as a backend developer. We are using the Django REST framework and SQLite database, but we plan to transition to PostgreSQL at the end of the MVP phase. Personally, I have developed an email registration and verification system, as well as all the views for the platform's content. During the development process, I have covered my code with unit tests and utilized Postman for convenience. The work of the team is organized according to Scrum standards.

I also have several pet projects.
 -   As a final course project, I created a telegram bot for neon production using pyTelegramBotAPI and python-telegram-bot libraries.
The bot can accept orders from the user, which are redirected to the owner of the bot, "hint a gift" by sending selected posts to the right user, and also duplicates information from the production site - answers to frequently asked questions and posting examples of completed orders, using Pinterest-parsing with Beautiful soup. Plans to add a payment module.
 -   I've created a personal site-blog using Django. There are published my notes about my experience and some information about me and my projects. I honed the practice of using the basics of the frontend, working with the database, and application architecture. The site is deployed on Heroku, automatic pipelines from Git are configured.
 - I am currently working on a Django (MVT) application that will help individuals prepare for technical interviews in a comfortable environment. I continuously update the database with interesting technical questions categorized by specialization levels. Currently, the application presents questions that one can honestly answer for self-assessment and identify areas that require further study. However, in the future, I plan to create a full-fledged simulation of a collaborative interview.
 -   I also started to develop my profile on CodinGames, trying to overcome the game Code_A_la_Mode. The concept of this game is based on event-driven programming, and it allows me to improve my skills in writing clean code, utilizing best practices of OOP, and design patterns.

I am constantly learning and improving my skills and trying to confirm them with certificates. I took separate practical courses on advanced SQL, Django, GIT. I'm currently taking a course on the basics of Linux from the Linux Foundation.
I deeply value teamwork and continuously strive to expand my horizons, applying newfound knowledge to real-world scenarios. My goal is to work alongside a cohesive and dynamic team that produces high-quality products, tailored to the needs of its customers.
