Projects

There are some notable projects I have been working on recently.

Back Office Task Management System

June 2022 - August 2022
I joined the project with a vision to lead my team in the journey of delivering the most business value while maintaining the best quality of the code and systems. I supported transition into CI/CD/CD workflows. I brought a massively refreshed UI. The changes resulted in great user feedback and a continuous reduction of errors and time waste.

TypeScript, React, Next.js, node.js, Jest, WebdriverIO, Server-Sent Events, Web Extensions, MongoDB, styled-components, Tailwind CSS, CSS, REST, Auth0, Kubernetes, Datadog, Jira, CircleCI

My responsibilities
  • I was responsible for the technical leadership of a team of 4 developers while also performing active development of features. My day-to-day work included bringing improvements to existing systems and swift communication within the team and across the organization. Through active and deep code review participation, I encouraged my fellow team members to follow best practices and reduce technical debt. I led many fruitful discussions and technical meetings to align on common team values. I steered the development into a data-driven and short-feedback loop and maintained the backlog and sprint plans. I have undergone massive decoupling and simplification efforts to keep the repositories maintainable. By keeping a tight eye on security and correctness, I enforced strict auth, improved observability, and logging. I participated in the cloud cost reduction process by aligning the resource usage for deployments and optimizing for performance.
  • Ads and Ancillaries

    Omio.com
    July 2021 - May 2022
    I worked closely with other developers, product managers, designers, and stakeholders to deliver the best ad experience and coverage across multiple touchpoints and platforms (web, mobile apps, email). I delivered new features while making huge improvements to existing code and processes. Even when my role was mainly on the frontend, I was always happy to jump in and get my hands dirty with server-side code or initially unfamiliar areas such as native code in mobile apps.

    My responsibilities
  • I was responsible for bringing the requested features to life, actively participating in the full life cycles from idea and design discussion to implementation, A/B testing, monitoring, and continuous improvement. I consistently got rid of technology debt, improved performance and kept services and features secure and up to date. I loved doing quick, deep, and helpful code reviews. I was always there when any help was needed. During this project, I actively participated in regular meetings and cross-team technical groups to share and disseminate knowledge. I maintained close collaboration with my colleagues during joint programming sessions in pairs and larger groups.

I had gained experience with git workflow and collaboration with other developers. I had been performing code reviews and delivered high-quality code. I had also been responsible for the integration of external libraries and close cooperation with the APIs provider, which often resulted in a need for providing detailed bug reports and test cases. I’ve been continuously focused on providing great user experience, performance, and security, which is why I have brought in useful solutions like visual regression detection toolkit, secret leakage prevention, and optimized the build process to yield the optimal bundle and improve development experience.

During this project, I have also been performing a Scrum Master role and helped my teammates to deliver the desired product that meets users’ and stakeholders’ needs. I was responsible for setting up continuous integration, delivery, and deployment to shorten iteration and delivery cycles. I have introduced an end-to-end testing solution to maintain high quality and reduce risks of broken deployments.

    My responsibilities
  • I was responsible for leading a small team to deliver a fully functional app that meets the competition’s requirements within a tight deadline. I have incorporated AI-based solutions and libraries to tackle the problem with near-real-time performance in mind. I have integrated React-based frontend with native Kotlin-based Android app that ran bare-metal models for extended performance on mobile, while still being able to run the app entirely on the web, fully offline. I have implemented a complex image detection and processing pipeline using face-api.js, OpenCV, TensorFlow, and custom functions. To achieve proper results, I have provided an extensive test suite, debug and visualization tools, and gathered a huge set of samples. Finally, I wrote a submission paper with a detailed report and documentation.
