Summary
I have been working as a developer for over 17 years. During that time, I have delivered many commercially successful projects as a freelancer, as a CTO, or Lead/Senior developer in startups, and as a Lead or Senior developer in a big company. I have got the expertise and hands-on experience with multiple programming languages, various tech stacks, CMS, tools, and services. I am experienced with project management through the entire project lifecycle: assessment, initial development, cost optimization & support.
I have been working remotely with other professionals even before it became mainstream. I successfully established effective work and friendly atmosphere within the team and customers. I strongly believe that communication "customer - managers - developers" solves most of the problems and saves a huge amount of time and, accordingly, money.
I am experienced with both initial development of new MVPs as well as with live projects that require architecture modification, refactoring, and optimization. I use all possible methods to speed up and reduce the cost of development for the customer. I came up with solutions to seemingly intractable problems. My motto in such cases is "simpler = better".
Customer satisfaction is always the critical objective.
