📖 Summary
My core experience lies with WEB DEVELOPMENT. Making complex clients ideas happen requires specific skills and knowledge set. You need to be able to get around, fast and with confidence, while working in both LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) and WAMP stack environments. Situations where you need to move a whole range of high traffic platforms from one server to another are frequent. Adjusting configuration to optimize and increase performance is common as well. RAD and XP software development methodologies are greatly explored in web development. Availability to code fast and adjust to ever-changing requirements, receive tasks and pass them around is necessary. SVN/GIT and good team work. Being comfortable at making architectural decisions and doing system analysis. Mentoring junior developers. All, a must. Delivering robust and scalable server side solutions to big orders - it's a job half done. Essentially, client-side is what makes your pitch go through. Contributing and being able to innovate on look and feel of any topic website or software GUI is a skill to brag about. The goal always is to meet highest expectations and thus, it's a continuous improvement when it comes to JavaScript/CSS3 combo and HTML DOM manipulation. Putting WEB2 spice and more engagement on websites will demand deep knowledge of JavaScript and jQuery library. You will constantly need to write efficient JS code, use jQuery to code task specific plugins or use third-party solutions to satiate visions needs. Did I forget to mention HTML? W3C standardizes new HTML5 tags for content semantics and SEO benefits. Well, SEO101 is not an optional requirement today, it's a mandatory one. You need to be able to deploy content marketing strategies alongside with profitable PPC campaigns as any online entity will demand one thing to be successful - traffic. And the biggest task of all: achieving project completion within budget and strict deadlines. I do this for 10 years now. And I love it!Lead Developer @ From April 2013 to Present (2 years 7 months) London, United KingdomProduct Manager @ From January 2011 to February 2013 (2 years 2 months) London, United KingdomSoftware Developer @ From January 2010 to December 2010 (1 year) London, United KingdomProject Manager @ In 2007 I joined EVO MEDIA Ltd., a medium Lithuanian e-business company. Here I was exposed to larger scale projects and larger teams. I played a lead role from day one and was immediately assigned as project manager/lead programmer. I worked with a complete life cycle of analysis, design, build and test, working alongside business analysts, designers, information architects, copywriters, producers and the various technical roles. My main role focused on back-end development and the integration of front-end code with back-end systems. From July 2007 to September 2009 (2 years 3 months) LithuaniaFreelancer @ During university I teamed up with a graphic design graduate and worked as a freelance web developer. We were building websites for various companies and self employed business owners ranging from flash based nightclub sites to e-commerce solutions. We also undertook a couple of larger projects. The variation and exposure to different situations led me to a higher level of experience, confidence and knowledge. As a role model in our freelance team, I was responsible for the full web site project from requirement analysis to on-line publication and maintenance. Designing technical solutions to often smaller budgets and constraints, working with a variety of existing systems and coding both front-end and back-end systems, was always a challenge. I was happy that we achieved close to 100% customer retention rate. Typically the full project of a website included many activities, such as: meeting with the client to understand necessity perception and design ideas for the web site, drawing wireframes, optimization of code, content, images and animations for quick loading, optimization of web pages to ensure a good positioning on search engines, on-line publication, testing, maintenance and update of website and much more.
