Team Lead
Sep 2017 - Present
As a Team Lead I oversaw the opening and equipping of an office in Ukraine in order to integrate a small remote development team I built from scratch. As part of this process, I took responsibility for the mentoring and management of each member of my team, transforming projects into a roadmap with clearly defined goals. This involved improving our technical skills, working in tandem to collectively improve the development processes, bringing up standards, and breaking down the project into manageable tasks ideally suited to each developer.

PHP Developer
Aug 2013 - Aug 2017
Designed, developed and refactored various clients’ corporate websites and API’s as part of an outsourced development team. The role involved taking a flexible approach in engaging with a wide array of public and private sector clients, each with differing goals and business needs. Initiated and implemented a number of development processes that reduced costs and modernised business operations: transitioning to Git; redefining and documenting efficient workflow standards; and leading the recruitment process, among others.


Full-stack Developer
Jun 2011 - Jun 2013
Initial responsibilities involved developing small features and fixing bugs, yet over time—by drawing on the experience of my peers—I began to approach the development process more proactively as I delivered a marked increase in orders by replacing MySQL Full-text search with ElasticSearch. Soon thereafter I was involved in the entire development process for building an eCommerce website in collaboration with an iOS developer, ensuring consistent UX design across web and iOS platforms. Working as part of a startup cultivated an appreciation for the minimum viable product concept to extract more value from every step of the development cycle for the customer.

Junior Oracle Database Administrator
Sep 2010 - Jun 2011
Maintained a computing system of the internal payment service used by all Ukrainian government institutions. Developed familiarity with operating, testing and maintaining databases with fellow administrators, and assisted in implementing database design upgrades to address performance issues. Day-to-day work involved providing data to other stakeholders via effective PL/SQL queries while I simultaneously enrolled in courses that furthered my knowledge in building databases.
I'm looking to work as part of a dynamic, growing company where I am able to work with many talented people and learn from the best. I am also motivated to lead a team of back-end or front-end engineers. Working on challenging tasks, preferable with javascript/php/go languages, microservices and distributed systems.
