Position: Python (Django) Web Developer
Category: Python
English level: upper
Years of experience: 3

After getting a master’s degree in marketing, started my career as an in-house digital marketing manager at a newspaper publisher. Later coordinated the development of a new online media website. Dived deep into proposed tech solutions to be able to set accurate tasks and explore possibilities. Soon enough started writing code myself to speed up the process and protect my team from distractions.

After getting hold of all the necessary knowledge and skills to build web projects from scratch, I switched to various projects as a full-stack web dev.

Built a journal publisher's main digital product with 32k users over the course of 2.5 years from scratch as a sole developer.

Changed in-house print media pre-publishing processes to allow online media counterparts to be published 5 days earlier than before.
For the past 3 years I've been focused on building and maintaining two projects:

2021 - now: A marketplace for hiring IT professionals.
Implemented business logic and ideas mostly via Django REST Framework and ElasticSearch as a Python backend dev in a team.

2019 - now: Online presence for a publisher/consulting company.
The project has grown from a basic landing page to a journal publisher's main digital product with 32k users over the course of 2.5 years. Being a sole developer, I've communicated directly with stakeholders and helped them bring their (and some of mine) ideas to life. Besides coding, I've provided SEO optimization, marketing tools and UI/UX design.

I started writing code somewhere around 2014 to automate and optimize day-to-day office tasks and that's what got me interested in software development.
I'd love to find a fulfilling position where I can fully put my marketing background and acquired dev skills to work, grow as a professional, and work with the modern tech stack.

I find enjoyment in pinpointing needs and solving real businesses' problems most easily and effectively. Also, it's very rewarding to see the results of my work actually helping people.

I'm against mandatory on-site work.
