It is one of my favorite languages and definitely​ the one I spend most of my time with. I have experience building complex single-page applications with JS, including some “greenfield” projects, where I was responsible for developing apps from scratch.

Over the years I've written lots of CSS and I know how important it is to keep it manageable and scalable. I follow BEM conventions mixed with some ideas from SMACSS and CSS Wizardry. As pre-processors,​ I used Sass and PostCSS.

Python used to be my main language for some years. I used it for creating web apps with Django, building APIs with DRF, scraping and general scripting. These days I'm mostly focusing on front-end development and don't use Python that often anymore.

Even though I really like React.js and Elm, Ember is still a good choice for some cases. Its CLI, strong conventions and zero-configuration save you a lot of time when you start a new app or switch between projects. I even built my own addon called "ember-svg-jar" for working with SVG images.

I don’t consider myself a “designer” as much as a frontend developer. Though I did some UI design, including high-fidelity prototypes with Sketch & InVision. I also did a complete UI revamp of a pretty complex web application from design to launch.

I had a pretty solid experience with Ansible and AWS before I switched to frontend development. I had a chance to implement full automation of deployment and infrastructure configuration with Ansible for a few Python/Django projects.
