Clever and detail-oriented web developer and programmer with 10 years of experience in building complex, data-driven bespoke web applications. Big believer in the power of open source solutions. Expert in building custom applications from scratch. Proven team leader and project manager. Lifelong learner, eager to advance both technical and leadership skills.


My strongest skills are in back-end development. I can work on multiple projects at the same time and still retain extraordinary results. Logical thinking and quick solution finding for discovered problems allows me to work in more efficient way and under a pressure.

I have coded in PHP since early version 3 and my first application used MySQL version 3. Since I have started working as a web developer in 2001 I have managed to create over 100 web sites/web applications. Most of them were really fascinating projects giving me also a chance, to improve skills in many other areas.

I am fluent in XHtml, PHP, CSS, MySQL and JavaScript. I have extensive knowledge about the SEO (on-site and off-site), Open Source platforms like WordPress, vBulletin, Openx and Magento. I know a lot about usability, accessibility, web standards and web security (XSS). I am familiar with implementing online payment gateways like PayPal and Protx (Sage Pay). I also have experience in creating huge bespoke platforms from scratch (Deutsche Bank Global Banking intranet CMS; 10 months of solid development work).
