# early days

Added local testing environment for big legacy project (which before was tested mostly manually on staging server). This hugely speed up development and improved product reliability.

Solo bootstrapped project with react frontend, django backend and couple of ML microservices.


# somewhat recent achievements

Optimised (literally x100) products indexation (updating) on huge retail site which removed lots of complains from company's partners and fixed traffic problem in kubernetes cluster (because of which other services were suffering).

Introduced monitoring and added optimizations to api service for frontend applications, which improved average and p95 (percentile) speed by the factor of two.

At the time I was hired as web developer, but I’ve got a chance to remember my early computer-vision-enthusiast days: my company had a problem with ads for our products because every image had watermark and google/yandex and other marketplaces refused to show these images. I wrote a script (and supporting infrastructure) which removed watermarks from ~1tb of images, and allowed us to eventually migrate to watermarkless images on our websites while simultaneously having ads and growing as a company.

One startup wanted to integrate with my company and optimize our image loading (by reducing image size) using their fancy neural-network-enabled cdn. For retail site this is huge deal. But I was able to introduce similar changes without costly integration with other companies. Now we have 50% less traffic on images and our customers receive products' images much faster.

Pushed service architecture at my company which eventually allowed to speed up development, opened horizon for new features and tooling, greatly optimized company's processes. At the time I wasn't an architect, just a regular tech/team lead, but I helped a lot with this movement to SOA, finding domain boundaries and creating new services with proper design.
Jack of all trades software engineer. As for now I'm particularly interested in web development, enterprise applications and system architecture.

Highly motivated and passionate.

I have experience working as a data scientist, computer vision engineer, frontend developer, backend developer, tech lead, team lead and architect. This broad experience helped me to better understand people I'm workings with, be useful in many areas and play a role as mediator in different discussions (especially useful for leads and architects).
Want to work with competent and motivated team in chill atmosphere.
Not interested in gambling or gaming industries.
I will only work at product based companies, no galeras please.
