PROFILE

Frontend Developer with production experience building React/TypeScript web applications and Electron desktop

EDUCATION

2023 – Present Bachelor's Degree - Software Engineering, Ivano-Frankivsk National
Technical University of Oil and Gas

WORK EXPERIENCE

Jul 2025 – Present Frontend Engineer, StartupSoft
• Built a React + TypeScript web app using Zustand, Google OAuth, WebSockets, REST
APIs (Axios, TanStack Query), and OpenAPI-based types.
• Replaced REST polling with WebSocket updates, cutting UI latency from ~5s to near
real time and improving responsiveness.
• Automated REST client and type generation from OpenAPI specs, removing manual
Axios boilerplate and recurring type-mismatch bugs.
• Developed a macOS Electron client with a local RAG pipeline using LlamaIndex, in-
memory vector store, and OpenAI/Anthropic models.

Jan 2025 – Jul 2025 Web Developer, Freelance (Self-Employed)
• Designed and developed full-stack web applications with React, Next.js, and TypeScript,
covering UI, API layer, and database schema end-to-end.
• Built responsive, component-based UIs with Redux Toolkit, TanStack Query, SCSS, and
Tailwind CSS, focusing on clean, maintainable architecture.
• Delivered 2 production-grade apps with typed data models and clear boundaries, often
about 1 week ahead of client deadlines, minimizing post-launch bug-fix cycles.
• Integrated Firebase to power real-time client-side features alongside Redux Toolkit-
managed application state.
• Designed relational data models with PostgreSQL and Prisma ORM, including schema
migrations and seeding — ensuring consistent, reproducible database setup across
environments.

EXTRACURRICULAR
