Summary
Full-stack developer with 1.3 years of commercial experience building and delivering web applications for client projects and personal products. Takes tasks end-to-end: clarifying requirements, implementing, testing, and preparing pull requests ready for review. Strongest in React, TypeScript, Python/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and Node.js/Next.js, with solid HTML/CSS (including Figma-to-code implementation), Docker, and CI. Comfortable getting up to speed on existing codebases and working directly with clients in Agile (Kanban) workflows. Use Claude Code and Codex daily in development, reviewing, testing, and correcting generated code before it reaches the codebase.
Experience
Full-Stack Developer (Freelance, Direct Client) — Production SaaS Platform · June 2025 – September 2026
• Built and shipped a production SaaS platform from the ground up, working directly with the client from initial architecture through production.
• Designed and developed the backend with Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and SQLAlchemy 2 (async) with Alembic migrations, with focus on maintainability as the product grew.
• Built React/TypeScript interfaces including an admin dashboard, data tables, filters, and analytics/data-heavy views.
• Delivered features end-to-end: implementation, refactoring, performance improvements, and automated unit, integration, security, and performance tests, with CI pipelines running them on every change.
• Translated client demo mockups into production-ready interfaces and contributed to UI design and UX copy for the marketing site.
• Worked directly with the client in a Kanban workflow to clarify requirements and turn product ideas into working features; kept clean Git/GitHub workflows with review-ready pull requests and used AI-assisted development while reviewing, testing, and correcting generated code before integration.
Full-Stack Developer (Freelance, Direct Client) — Client Web Application · March 2026 – June 2026
• Developed the backend from the ground up in Node.js, implementing the project's core server-side functionality and API, and integrated AI capabilities into the application.
• Rebuilt the frontend from Figma designs, migrating the existing Vanilla CSS implementation to a modern web framework and developing additional pages; integrated it with the backend and implemented the required functionality.
• Worked directly with the client to translate requirements and designs into a functional web application, delivered according to the client's requirements.
Intern — SapientPro (1-month internship) · February 2026
• Built an interactive 3D Git Tree Visualizer of commit and branch history, using GraphQL for repository data and Three.js for rendering.
Projects
Flixora — Personal Project / Bachelor's Thesis · 2025 – 2026
• Developed a project-based JavaScript learning platform with Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js, built around interactive coding exercises rather than passive course content; successfully defended as a bachelor's thesis at Chernivtsi National University in 2026.
• Designed and implemented an isolated code-execution environment for running and validating user-submitted code, and integrated AI capabilities into the learning flow.
• Worked across the frontend, backend, architecture, and deployment as a solo developer, hosting the frontend on Vercel and the backend on Render.
