Hi. My name is Max. I am a senior full stack web developer experienced in Python, Django, JavaScript and React.

I'm not just interested in programming; I want to build products. I want to know the domain I’m working with and I want to be fully involved. I like to participate in project roadmap discussions and make my own proposals.

I’ve worked both remotely and on-site, developing teamwork and communication skills. I am a native Russian speaker and I am fluent in English (IELTS band score 7.5 or C1 on the CEFR scale). Unlike many other freelancers working from home, I rent an office to stay fully focused on my job.

I respect privacy and security. I never share private data. My laptop is dedicated to my job only and is never shared with anyone. My laptop's storage is heavily encrypted, and I have separate devices for my hobbies.

I have comprehensive knowledge of web application development, from idea to production, and can handle tasks such as server configuration, domain name registration, and project deployment. With my experience, I am able to join existing projects or lead a new one from scratch.

I started programming at 12 years old and have been working commercially in the field since 2013. Here are the most interesting projects I’ve worked on:

• FoodieOrder. SaaS for restaurant owners who want to get orders online. Initially, I’ve been hired to build two Single Page Applications with React.js. One for consumers and one for managers. One year later I’ve been given a side project consisting of three parts. Web dashboard with React.js. iOS and Android applications for restaurant waiters with React Native. And Python + Django backend for those apps which also integrates with main FoodieOrder project backend written in PHP + Laravel.
• Education Ecosystem (formerly known as liveedu.tv and livecoding.tv). Videos on Demand and Live streaming education platform. Initially, I’ve been the backend team member, building classic Multi Page Application with Django. Later we decided to migrate to a modern frontend approach like React.js. I signed up for this assignment building REST API and React frontend. As a result, we managed to migrate seamlessly by building a hybrid app with React app for core parts (live streaming, video player and chat) and classic MPA for the rest of the pages.
• I also have a pet project built by me from scratch. Curiously it is also a food ordering app. Initially created as my thesis work with Python, Django, Vanilla JS it was later sold to a restaurant owner. One year later I added REST API and React. One more year later it evolved into SaaS so I could handle more restaurants. Current stack: Python, Django, DRF, PostgreSQL, React, Redux, Recompose, StyledComponents.

I participate in the Advent of Code every year. It’s a programming challenge that lasts the whole December. That’s where I practice Functional Programming which I’m a huge fan of.

Author of development blog and telegram channel where I share development tips and tricks I personally figured out.
