Being a student, rescued quite large enterprise project going onsite to iterate faster.

Shifted from financial to industrial 3D software to prevent losing math knowledge and experience of GPGPU programming, helped to deliver new solution that met customer needs in tight timeframe (again, working closely with customer).

Switched to online advertisement and ecommerce industry sofware development and created web-based system that processes millions of orders 24/7, taking care of almost all stages of order lifecycle where goal was to get to market as fast as possible. Provided support, monitoring and alerting system to prevent downtime, built a team which continued support and development activities.
Capable to build projects (mainly web-apps) from scratch (all aspects, from gathering requirements to design and implementation, from front-end to backend and devops, from interviews to growing a team)
I don't want to participate in slow-paced projects, where nobody cares to achieve goals faster than competitors. I respect results, not processes (however, I admit that proper process could help to achieve goals faster).

At the same time, I don't want to work in an environment where engineering practices are disregarded in favour of speed of delivery. There should be a balance. We definitely need to be fast, but must not forget about paying back the technical debt.
