Python Developer

I create accessible solutions where a powerful backend supports an elegant interface.

About Me

I am a Junior+ web developer who creates accessible and efficient solutions, combining the power of backend development with elegant frontend implementation. My strong knowledge of HTML, CSS, TypeScript, and React allows me to build systems that deliver high performance, reliability, and intuitive user interfaces.

In backend development, I actively use frameworks such as Django, Flask, and FastAPI. They make it possible to quickly develop scalable RESTful API solutions and simplify working with databases. I never forget about query optimization to ensure applications run efficiently. When needed, I can also use pure SQL.

At the moment, I focus on complex systems where the backend ensures stable service operation, while the frontend makes them as convenient to use as possible. My goal is to create solutions that meet accessibility standards and provide an excellent user experience.

In my free time, I enjoy fitness, mountain hiking, cycling, and motorsports. These activities help me stay in good shape and maintain a healthy balance between work and rest.

I am always open to new opportunities and ready to collaborate on interesting projects that will help me grow as a specialist.

Interviews

  • Interview on Evgeny Bartenev's Channel

    Evgeny is a Yandex Practicum tech lead with more than 20 years of experience in IT. In the interview, I confidently answer questions, show how I think, how I solve problems — and even when I make mistakes, it becomes a great opportunity for a valuable discussion. The mock interview turned out to be lively, honest, and useful.

Freelance Projects

  • Legacy Django Mailer

    This is a service for creating and sending email campaigns using HTML templates, scheduled mailings, template variables, and email open tracking. Legacy tools such as Python 2.7 and other outdated technologies were actively used. Administrators configure campaigns through a modal window with AJAX requests. Automation and queue processing are implemented with Redis, Celery, and other tools, highlighting a combination of legacy and modern solutions.
