I am a deeply passionate web developer with over two decades of dedicated experience and involvement across a diverse range of projects. My journey started in early 2000's affording me the privilege to witness the transformative phases of the World Wide Web and take invaluable insights even from eachs of it's evolution. I worked with divisions of Nestlé and Pepsi Co. in CIS, Istok Group company and even global companies like MMOGA, by taking a core developer and founder roles in different international web resources and hundreds of web apps. In 2014 relocated to Europe and started apply my experience to enhance internet technologies in the eurozone. Most of career I worked remotely on full-time basis for US and EU companies and established myself as responsible and reliable expert, perfectly adapted to demanded tendency of remote work. I don't see my goal in joining a typical team of web developers. My passion in creating new products and web apps for solving business challenges, optimizing business workflow and transferring relations between the company and it's clients online. Ability to quickly build MVPs and product prototypes is also higly demanded. I easily cooperate with multilingual teams and colleagues without IT knowledge, able to explain complicated things clearly for my audience and balance technical capabilities against project objectives.

If you read this, probably you already imagine importance of web development. When I started developing web apps about 10 years ago, such tools were considered as innovation and were used mostly in companies with advanced IT infrastructure. Now it is widespread, because bringing right instruments to your team fully unlocks their potential, improves workflow effectivity and reduces company's costs. I keep warm relationships with my previous employers and I am very glad to see that my participation helped them to grow, optimize workflow and raise incomes.
Planning, analytics, statistics... There are a lot of options to improve sales, productivity or understand weak and strong sides of your company's strategy. I've build lots of different tools: from competitors comparison tools to CRM systems. As an instruments, helping to make right decisions, they are being used to this day.
Creation of Intranet network for Moscow Media Group totally changed existing way of preparing products for the entire publishing house. The system of modules for various departments allowed to reduce to a minimum the work that was previously done manually. It seriously reduced labor costs and finally allowed to use the resources on the expansion of the company.
I've been developing various affiliate programs and tools for generating reports, statistics and summaries with very customizable queries and input data, exporting and intelligent summary views. Such tools open a possibility for executives and analysts to develop the most effective strategy for further company's growth.
Lots of my projects use externally provided data or third-party API's. Making strategically important solutions is my passion and I use all avaliable tools to make them perfect. I've been participating in development of custom-made services (for example, Twitch-like streaming service, which significantly raised affiliate sales)
Required apps might have special or adapted versions of specific modules for cell phones and tablets. This might include special functions for the top management or specific employees, responsible for the quality control and monitoring.
Due to my agreements I cannot publish some details, screenshots and even specific projects. Besides web applications I also create websites and design for them. Please follow this link to continue on websites section.

Besides web application development I have been working on huge amount of web sites, web stores and other online services. A lot of my web sites are made in close connection with internal web applications for automatic data processing/sync. I easily manage to make a project's look (from draft sketch to finally layouted web page) for myself, so you don't need assistance of graphic designers or front end specialists.
Depending on your company's profile, possibility to sell your product or service online might significantly increase profit and expand amount of orders. Tightly integrated with your workflow, online selling space might include different calculators, interactive forms and other functionality for prepearing, price estimate and automatic processing.
Often I build very customized, but flexible functionality for web-sites. A huge amount of my past developments allows me to save time and bring outstanding functions to the projects rapidly. Such approach often plays a crucial role in gaining market share and helps to qualitatively stand out among your competitors. Fresh look and rethinking of existing solution may be very useful in some cases.
Some of design ideas use movement, interactivity and animation in their core. I use HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery possibilities to bring some motion and better user experience, when it is appropriate. Early I was working with Flash, which is not used anymore in web development, but that experience is very useful, and even Flash still might be used for specific tasks.
I am familiar with jQuery and jQuery Mobile and usually use them in almost every project. I've been working on different solutions, related to streaming, image and data processing, text to speech and other multimedia features. Vue.js is also my indispensable assitant in some projects and single page applications.
Huge problem of modern web systems is that they are too heavy and overly functional. In my opinion, all unnecessary features should be hidden, because one of the important goals is improving the workflow, but not overcomplicating it. Managment tools I develop are always very flexible and friendly, oriented on people. Almost every tool is developed aimed to specific employee, who will work with it every day.
Despite the fact that my work relies primarily on original solutions, I am able to work as well with lots of popular content managment systems (like Wordpress or xtCommerce). I know architecture of such systems and I am able to easily modify or expand their functionality as well as developing custom solutions.

Advanced working proficiency in Photoshop and other graphic design software allows me to control the whole process of project's creation. I am able to solve most tasks for myself and (if needed) easily communicate with artists and designers.   
Design and style are making the first impression of your company or product. I've catched the evolution of web appearances almost from the beginning, so in my projects I am able combine modern technological tendentions and as well as good tricks from the past.
In separate cases you might need to use different unusual forms of presenting information. This might be made in form of presentation, infographics or just unusual look of web site layout. I am constantly confronted with such tasks and refer great interest to solve them.
I am not an artist, but strong expertise allows me to manage graphics-related tasks (from designing tiny icons to large format prints preparation). My wife is very experienced photo artist and professional retoucher and she is happy to share her knowledge in complicated situations :)
If this is relevant, I design special adapted mobile/tablet versions. I have a rich amount of different solutions for automatic adaptation of content for small screens, but often the whole structure might be different. Some developers make cutted versions of site for mobile devices, but I am usually trying to deliver advantages of smaller screen and touch/connectivity possibilities for better user experience.
I also had some experience of making interactive presentations and showcase apps. I have not been working on that for a while, but you can take a look some of my past projects.

Interactive presentation is another unusual way to introduce your company to customers. In most cases presentations are used for promotional purposes, but in some instances you can add some functional elements and turn it into a business tool or original way to prepare annual reports using infographics and animation. Making of interactive presentations is not my primary field of work and it's more like past experience, but you can take a look on some of my very old Flash-based projects.   
The most of interactive presentations include animated intro movie. Usually it's a video with soundtrack, which vividly represents the product or company and proceeds user to the interactive part of the presentation. Sometimes such intros are also being used on web sites.
Flash-based annual presentations and reports, together with advertisment presentations are part of my very first steps in career. Anyway in specific situations this experience might be helpful. For example, it might assist me to bring my ideas about planned developments to the whole team in demonstrative form.
It might be feedback form, interactive calculator, which counts the approximate shipping costs of goods, or something else. Usually such features are deeply integrated into presentation interface, so they fit to design and style.
Presentations may use external text and images, so it is very easy to replace them in your presentation without making any changes in the program code (because they are not embedded in presentation executive files).
There is an ability to distribute presentations using unusual medias like 50-80mm Mini CDs/DVDs (rounded or different shaped), promotional flash drives and souvenir-like media.
