EXPERIENCE
Aug 2018 – Jun 2025 Web developer, website admin, content manager - JSC Biotrade
At Biotrade, I had an amazing and unique experience — I was a developer of veterinary drugs
and a programmer at the same time. As a web developer and website admin, I was responsible
for creating and maintaining the company's website for several years. I was also the content
manager — I filled the site with content, edited existing entries, added new ones, etc.
The site was originally created using OpenCart, but from Dec 2024, I started to develop the
updated version using Symfony framework. This work left unfinished due to company’s staff
reduction and my dismissal.

Summer – Autumn 2022 Magento BE developer - Pronko Consulting

At Pronko, I gained unique experience working in an international team where all developers
communicated exclusively in English (a first in my career). Of course, the projects for British
and Irish clients were also interesting and skill-up.

May 2019 – May 2022 Magento developer - Shark Software
This was my first commercial experience developing on Magento. During my three years at
this Ukrainian company, I grew from an intern to a mid-level developer, participated in several
projects in different countries, and learned many new development tools and technologies.
