I have almost no accomplishments which someone can “touch” because most of my ideas get scrapped due to my lack of time or finances.

My greatest sorrow is the fact that my "magnum opus" did not succeed.  I suppose because the client didn't understand the business side of it. And most unpleasant in this story is that after the client ran out of finances, he unsuccessfully tried to trick the whole team by keeping contracts opened without payment and clear goals.  

But all my projects, successful or not, helped me grow professionally. 

“Magnum opus” gave me good experience in project management, team leading, software engineering, various API and services usage. 

My game projects gave me an understanding of how vital proper advertising is and how much real projects cost. 

The freelance experience gave me an understanding how to organize myself, how to keep myself motivated and how to quickly adapt to different tasks, how to talk to real clients and explain them your part of work.

As a result, my real accomplishment is experience, various and valuable, backed by my university background.
Details in my resume, it's quite boring to rewrite everything, again and again, adapting info to each job search site.

I used to work as Upwork freelancer for two years, completed several contracts there, including one long term(1.5 years) during which I was the lead developer of the project which, unfortunately for me, didn’t succeed as a business.

After I quit Upwork and rested, I decided to try myself in game development in cooperation with another developer and designer. The game wasn’t commercially successful but gave an understanding of how much does it cost to develop larger games. Therefore newly formed team decided to pause our ambitious ideas realization and seek for the jobs. 

Then I created Slack bot for my friend's boss. Bot automates team reports(aka stand-up meetings). There are plenty of alternatives for it, but they needed a self-hosted solution to be sure that their reports data will be adequately secured.
I expect to join the company of people who work on something useful to humanity. I don’t want to think that I spent a substantial portion of my life, 1-2 years, developing something which is not used by anyone. 

I prefer to work on back-end side,  because front-end development, in my opinion, is much slower paced compared to back-end and gives less field for creativity due to the fact that one of the primary front-end tasks is implementation of designers mockups, but if needed I can perform front-end tasks with no problems except a little sadness.

I don't want to to keep alive archaic project, because quite often is better just to let it go and develop a better version of it which will incorporate all experience gathered during a lifetime of the previous version.
