Semen Shekhovtsov

My name : Sem Shekhovtsov Education: Master 2 Computer Science Tel : - E-mail :- 1 Preface Electric, electronic and radio devices - is something that fascinates me since my childhood. When I was a kid, I learned from a professional technician how to repair primitive TVs and was repairing electric devices when needed. Radio and electronics attracted my attantion a lot. I was curious how it works, what are the limits, was desassembling it and reparing. Sometimes it failed to work after my repair, this was curious. My education after the school was about electronic devices, computers and networks. During that time I was not just studying, but also building primitive hardware self-controlled systems using microcontrollers and was programming these devices utilizing the assembler and c languages. The bigges happiness for me is when something that I’ve built is really useful, it is utilized by thousands or millions of real users. Nowadays, electronic devices are all over us, mobile phones, tablets, computers, laptops, smart watches. There are endless posiblities for building, coding and development. That really makes me feel happy. I’m curious about learning new technologies, programming languages, frameworks, tools, utils, patterns, etc. Artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality is a digital future of humanity. At the present times I’m proud to be a part of the people, who build our digial future. Each of us decided to write down our happy memories, growth and feelings for the school in the past six years. Perhaps some of the articles here are somewhat naive, but each article has been integrated into my hard work and sweat and painstaking efforts, each article has recorded my growth. 2 When life grows into a memory, the things in memory are the most real Contents BeezUP………………………………………..............................4 RACELOGIC………………………………..............................5 Connect2Court…………………………..............................6 BEN……………………………………………..............................7 ELEKS…………………………………………............................8 Intellias……………………………………….............................9 Infopulse… ……………………………….............................10 ArchiSnapper………………………….…..........................11 PlateRate………………………………….............................12 Articles & publications…………….............................13 AI Chatbots……………………………….............................14 GitHub SamShekhovtsov………….............................15 3 Web development engineer @ BeezUP Since March 2013 until May 2015 I was working on-site, in Prais, France on a digital startup.

I was a part of the team, which rebuilt from scratch the fameous Branded Entartaiment Network system. Worked mostly on the backend API using ASP.NET MVC, MongoDb, RESTful service and AngularJS for the ront-end part. A lot of external APIs and services were integrated by me. I’m proud that once I was a part of that amazing team, who built BEN. 7 Software Development Engineernter @ ELEKS EELEKSosition For twelve month 2020 - 2021 worked in one of the biggest ukrainian software development companies - ELEKS. I was developing web application for certificates tracking and documentation management for oil and gas mining companies. Fixing bugs and integrating new features.

Skills: Telerik Web Controls · JavaScript Libraries · Microsoft SQL Server · ASP.NET MVC · JavaScript 8 Software Development Engineer @ Intellias I’ve been a part of the amazing ukrainian company - Intellias during 2021 - 2022. At that company I was building microserices multi-modular web application for supporting printer - like device. Was writting a lot of unit and integration tests. In the scope of this project, I was working on the containerization of the .Net Core web application into Linux docker container. Was migrating CI CD functionality from Appveyor to the GitHub Actions. Skills: Azure DevOps · Unit Testing · Integration tests · Microservices · Microsoft SQL Server · ASP.NET MVC 9 Software Development Engineer @ Infopulse Since Jun 2022 until December 2022 was building web based software using .Net technologies stack and JS libraries. 10 Ruby on Rails developer @ ArchiSnapper As a point of my interest, I have learned another programming language - Ruby. Started building commercial applications utilizing the Ruby on Rails in a couple of month. One of the graitest projects that I was working on with technologies stack related to the Ruby on Rails was ArchiSnapper. ArchiSnapper is online tool that simplifies daily routine for appartment builders and architects. I was building RESTful APIs, integrating third-party services and other cute things. 11 NodeJs developer @ PlateRate Following the fast development of the modern programming languages and frameworks I have learned one another programming language - NodeJs. It wasn’t entirely new for me, because Node.js is using javascript syntax. It is actually server-side javascript. I learned it pretty quick and started building commercial applications. One of the biggest systems that I was working on utilizing NodeJs - was US based startup - PlateRate. That web application allows to set rating for restaurants and dishes after the visit, leave feedback and even order food online. There are multiple third-party services integrated, own APIs, sub-modules, internal support systems and functional parts. It is a huge, separate web system. I liked to work on that project. It was my positive freelance experience, when I worked directly with a customer, not for a outsource or outstaff company. This experience has significnalty improved my knowledge and skills in the technologies stack, which is based on NodeJs 12 Publications and articles On my spare time, when I learn something new, interesting and challeging, I write an article about it. For example, one of the projects that I was working on, I was investigating the benefits of Redis cach integration into .Net ASP.NET MVC application. After the investigation, I wrote an article, which is posted on the CodeProject site, it got 69 votes and 4.83 out of 5 rate - which is almost perfect )))) https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/636730/Distributed-C aching-using-Redis Once, I have decided to learn artificial intelligence systems and start building chatbots using the Facebook platform. That idea wasn’t amazing and successful, however I learned a lot. Based on my learnings, I have published another article: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/-/DevelopingChatbots-for-Facebook-Messenger-Platfor When the OAuth was initially released, I investigated it and explained for other developers how to integrate it into the commercial applications: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/206707/Simple-net-M VC-3-web-application-with-integrated-f 13 Chatbots for Facebook platorm No one is perfect. Everyone does mistakes sometimes. When the facebook has released their messenger platform, I have decided to learn AI and build sample chatbots using the third-party systems like Wit.AI, API.AI, LUIS.AI and others. It appeared, that the chatbots are not really in demand on the digital market, there are not so many customers who is completely ready to integrate artificial intelligence into their web systems. There were several customers that asked me to build chatbots for them, only few ((((. However, a lot of other enthusiasts and software developers curious about AI chatbots have contacted me asking about my experience and some technical questions. There are much more developers than real customer in the AI development area. I have written several articles on the linkedin site about my negative experience in this field: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/apiai-luisai-witai-comparison -chatbot-platforms-semen-shekhovtsov/ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/safe-areas-application-ai-cha tbots-semen-shekhovtsov/ 14 Open source projects - GitHub Same as other software developers, who love to code, I have a github account. Sometimes I develop learning projects to get experience in modern technologies or programming languages. Rarely, but regularly I contribute to the open-source projects. Unfortunately, mostly I spend time on the commercial projects and I’m not authorized to share the protected, private code. Despite of that, when I do have time for playing around, I share everything that I’ve done with other developers through the GitHub. 15
