Work Experience

Web Developer at Seoslon in Krasnoyarsk since 09.2024

I was responsible for technical support and improvements of more than 30 client websites on various CMSs: WordPress, 1C-Bitrix, Joomla, ModX, as well as on the Yii2 framework and OpenCart/ocStore platforms.

My tasks included implementing new features, such as online payment integration, and optimizing existing ones--including increasing scores across all 4 PageSpeed Insights categories, with an average improvement of 40 points in performance and 30 points in accessibility and best practices. I was also responsible for project evaluation for preparing commercial proposals. Less frequent tasks included migrating websites to new hosting providers and complex data parsing using Node.js and Puppeteer to automate content collection and processing.

One of the key projects was building the online store geodemines.ru from scratch on WordPress and WooCommerce with a custom theme based on the Hello Elementor Theme. To implement functionality, I used ACF, CPT UI, WBW Product Filter, and Contact Form 7 plugins, as well as a caching system based on W3 Total Cache with custom hooks for precise cache invalidation.

My work enabled the company to take on more complex and higher-value technical projects that had previously been out of reach.

Thanks to the efforts of the entire team, we managed to set a record for monthly profit over the past 10 years. I actively participated in general planning and strategic discussions, working closely with SEO specialists, designers, and project managers.

About Me

Even before starting my career in web development, I had formed a clear set of principles regarding accessibility, usability, and website performance. This was largely thanks to being involved in the professional community, in particular the “Web Standards” podcast, which I have been regularly listening to since 2017. I share their approach: coding according to specifications, thinking about the user, and genuinely loving your craft. These principles, reinforced by practical advice from the episodes, are something I consciously integrate into my daily work.

Technology is a field I have been interested in, studied, and worked in throughout my life, with a focus on web development, localization, user experience, security, and systems design. As for my linguistic education, it helps me see more ways in which technology can be applied around the world, allowing me to take into account many more perspectives in my decisions.
