Summary

Senior Frontend Engineer with 6+ years of experience building applications for financial services and high-traffic platforms.

Professional experience

Senior Associate, Frontend Engineer

MUFG Fund Services Limited · Cyprus · – Present

  • Cross-functional collaboration: bridge between product owners, designers, and backend — surfaced conflicting requirements early and proposed stronger technical or product paths before build-out.
  • DX & leadership: raised productivity for 16+ frontend developers with shared configs, internal tooling, and technical design docs.
  • Proactive problem solving: tracked down bugs across micro-frontend modules, wrote tasks and documentation so every team stayed aligned on standards.
  • AI tooling & automation: built custom AI agents, workflows, and plugins on LLM APIs to automate parts of code review and speed up day-to-day engineering.
  • Release automation: shipped a full-stack automated release management app (Vue.js, Node.js, Python, Postgres, Hasura) — release prep from 2+ hours to under 20 minutes, adopted company-wide.

Frontend Web Developer

Savings and Loan Services Bank · Russia · –

  • Technical ownership: worked with the technical director as one of two frontend engineers — chose the stack, tooling, and architecture for new work.
  • Sales application: delivered a multi-step web app for branch managers — auth, complex client forms, document scan/upload.
  • Data visualization: internal dashboard for live sales metrics, built with the backend team against their APIs.
  • Cross-functional delivery: shipped features with Android, QA, and backend without a dedicated team lead.

Middle Frontend Developer

Payterra Processing Company, LLC · Russia · –

  • Real-time streaming widgets: highly configurable React widget system from scratch — WebSocket-driven, animated UI in real time.
  • OBS integration: widgets keyed for Open Broadcaster Software so streamers could drop them into scenes and grow the platform audience.
  • Mobile prototyping: ported parts of the web app to React Native as a proof of concept.

Frontend Developer (A/B Testing)

Kameleoon · Russia · –

  • Client-side A/B tests on high-traffic e-commerce sites to lift conversion and retention.
  • Advanced DOM work: pure JavaScript and CSS on top of third-party sites — reshaped behavior and UI without access to original source.
  • Custom UI: built interactive components (galleries, sliders, and similar) straight in the DOM from client briefs.
