My professional path started in technical support, where I worked directly with users and handled non-standard cases. I then moved into QA, focusing on testing, bug reproducibility, and systematic problem analysis. Later, I transitioned into full-stack web development, where I began designing, building, and maintaining web solutions.

At the same time, I also worked with content and coordinated a copywriting team. This experience helped me better understand processes, communication quality, and the connection between content, task goals, and audience needs.

My current focus is full-stack web development, along with work at the intersection of gameplay and narrative design. I am especially interested in roles where technical systems, user experience, and content structure need to work together as one whole.

Programming Languages:
JavaScript (ES6+), PHP, SQL (incl. D1), HTML5, CSS3, Bash, PowerShell

Preprocessors and Extensions (as needed):
TypeScript (compiled to JavaScript), CSS preprocessors (Sass, Less, PostCSS).

Tools and VCS:

• Webpack (bundler)
• Composer (PHP package manager)
• WP CLI (WordPress Command Line Interface)
• Git (VCS)

CMS, Frameworks and SSG:

• WordPress (commercial experience: development of Classic/FSE themes and plugins)
• Laravel (commercial experience)
• Angular, Vue.js (self-study, pet projects)
• Hugo (pet projects)
• SaaS platforms (internal testing, technical support, and custom solutions | commercial experience)

Libraries:
React, jQuery (jQ within WordPress)

Server Infrastructure and Network Configuration:

• Deployment and administration on Unix-like OS (Linux, BSD)
• Network settings configuration (TCP/IP, firewall)

Containerization and Virtualization:
Docker, VirtualBox, Hyper-V

Design and Multimedia:

• Preparing mockups for merchandise printing (choosing formats, color profiles)
• Adobe Photoshop, Figma (UI/UX design)
• Video editing (FFmpeg, Adobe Premiere, Canva)

SEO (basic level):

• Google Analytics setup
• Proper use of hreflang for multilingual site versions
• Meta-data optimization, sitemap.xml

Methodologies and Practices:

• Low-level code design: SOLID, DRY, KISS, dependency injection, separation of concerns
• High-level application architecture: client–server, layered architecture, MVC/MVVM for web front ends, modular monoliths, microservices (where justified)
• Advanced architecture and system design: Hexagonal architecture (Ports & Adapters — my preferred approach for complex, testable systems), Domain-Driven Design (bounded contexts, aggregates), event-driven patterns (message queues, pub/sub) when needed
• DevOps (CI/CD, build and deployment automation)
• OOP (Object-Oriented Programming: JavaScript, PHP)
• BEM (BEM methodology for scalable CSS architecture)
