I’m a Poland-based, Software Engineer with more than 6 years of working experience. My сore competencies are Frontend and Design Engineering, but I also do a lot of serverless backend stuff for my pet projects.

Working experience

Frontend Engineer at «FANDS» (June 2022 → Now)

«FANDS» is a agency that helps startups to build and launch new products. They follow the principles of fully remote and async work. Company has a horizontal company structure so everyone works directly with client and takes part in project planning, brainstorming, etc.

• Was a single person responsible for the relaunch of LMS for education.borshev.com. Created a design system, component library, CI, and everything frontend. Relaunching from 0 to production with an audience of hundreds of paying customers took around three months. The project’s code is Open Source.
• I designed and built the frontend for cloud IoT fleet management app. It included D3.js metrics visualizations, xterm-based SSH terminal, and Leaflet-based map browser.
• Worked on interfaces for SNOMED-compatible dentist assessment and examination tool (this was a React project).
• Created a messenger-like ticket system for a large edtech.

Founding Frontend Engineer at Beau, February 2021 → July 2022

Beau is a YC startup where I was a founding front-end engineer. This was a startup about automation of multi-step paperwork (for example, visa application) that provided form builder focused on solving such tasks.

• Made everything frontend for successful Beau YCombinator S21 demo.
• Made everything frontend for Beau first public release (Product Hunt 2nd product of the day).
• Made a pivot feature of Beau’s second public release — Beau Pages (Product Hunt 1st product of the day).
• Made a design system and component library.

Freelance, April 2018 → August 2021

As a freelance frontend engineer, I worked on many projects, mostly in the spheres of iGaming and Healthcare. Apart from making interfaces in Vue, I was responsible for performance optimizations, and rewriting huge legacy codebases into maintainable state.

• Wrote a custom interface scaling solution for a game that rendered interfaces inside the Chromium Embedded Framework.
• Refactored a few huge unmaintainable CSS codebases, into well-maintainable modular BEM.
• Was responsible for optimizing (performance, buildtime, and bundle size-wise) graphics-heavy interfaces that were intended to run in low RAM environments.
