Whether you need to implement a custom UI, or an elaborate backend functionality, or a complete
full-stack product, I can do that for you. Here are some of the reasons why you might want to hire
me:
I have 7 years of programming experience. As a professional freelancer, I have worked on
a very wide range of problems, different kinds of applications during different stages of
their life cycle. That made me versatile and a fast learner. Currently my skill set includes
JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, C++, Lua, a bit of C#, a lot of libraries and a few frameworks.
I care first and foremost about the business interests. I'm always trying to piece together
what is most important for the company right now, and prioritize the tasks accordingly.
Quality is important. I'm taking time and effort to test the work I deliver and watch closely
for regressions. I'm always trying to eliminate or at least minimize bugs that could end up
in production.
That includes cross-browser compatibility. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty and fix a
weird and annoying bug that only shows up in IE.
I fit well in a team. I never hesitate to ask other team members for clarification, and
gladly aid them in their work upon request, or cooperate with them to solve complex
problems. I have no problem getting into someone else's code, and I try my best to make
my own code easy to read and maintain.
It goes without saying that I can both write and speak English freely.
If you are not convinced, take a look at the detailed breakdown of my experience below. Every
customer I have worked with so far has been satisfied.

A complete, functional time management application based on the Pomodoro technique. I started working on it because I
wanted to make the most of my time, wanted to learn being efficient in order to grow professionally. Ever since the early
versions, I'm using it on the daily basis myself, and it really helps me every day to focus on my work.
Here are some of its highlights:
Localization -- currently available in English and Russian.
Tutorial -- when the user logs in for the first time, they are presented with a tutorial to help them learn both the
Pomodoro Technique and the app's own UI.
Undo feature -- user can easily correct their mistakes.
Performance -- it loads fast and any action is performed almost instantly.
Guest mode -- user doesn't have to register right away, they can create a guest account to try out the application
and later convert it into a regular account.
Fairly good cross-browser support.
