In April 2017 started a small company branch in Sumy for a company with HQ in Berlin. Contractor since 2019, building great products solo and with my teammates.

In 2020-2021 as SRE helped a video hosting platform to remain stable and grow from 1M to 2M ARR while CTO was transitioning out of the company (over 10 million video plays per month serving about 30TB of traffic per month, dynamically distributing it with the help of 3 different CDN platforms).

Implemented a new scalable and dockerized infrastructure for one of the German market leaders in travel which has 3M EUR MRR.
Since 2020 working as a DevOps with GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform and all the fancy tools, Docker deployments and GitLab.

Until 2020 worked mainly as a backend developer. It's become a pretty hard task to remember everything I've been working with since 2011, but the key point is - I'm constantly and eagerly learning new stuff. In December 2020 started working as a backend dev in a video hosting company, and over time transitioned into the SRE/Tech lead role as their CTO transitioned out of the company. I'm working as an individual contractor since 2019, with my previous employee and with new clients from all over the world. My current stack includes Symfony 4, Laminas, React, Next.js and Meteor/Node, and this is the direction where I would like to develop my skills further. Most interesting part of my working life was a year of 2016 when I'd been working on a startup prototype with Meteor framework, and the following 6 months or so, when I switched to React/Redux stack. Also, as a part of my additional responsibilities in a company, I was involved in the infrastructure development - trying different deployment practices with Jenkins, Docker, Ansible etc. Before that I had over 2 years of experience with Symfony2 stack (which continued in 2018 with Symfony3/4), ElasticSearch and RabbitMQ on a big high-loaded project. I use Linux (previously MacOS for 1.5 years) in my everyday working- and server-life (Debian and Ubuntu), and git of course. Earlier I worked with Zend Framework 1.12 (for 1 year) and CodeIgniter (2 years), using Liquibase, Redis, php-resque scheduler and RequeBoard; also coding some js tracking code and testing it with Jasmine. Prior to that I worked with CodeIgniter and some custom frameworks, and did HTML/CSS freelancing since 2009 or so. Trying to contribute in opensource projects on github when I have time. Occasionally learning other instruments when I have to (Python, Go, Node.JS)
After several years of attempts to build an own product inside my current company, I'd like to join a team that already has one. I would like not only code, but participate in product development at full scale (e.g. be involved in some decision making or have some things to decide on free will). Open to leading a team or taking more responsibility than a regular developer, but also comfortable working in stand-alone mode.
