Being an expert in SFCC (Demandware), I've provided a lot of technical solutions and expertise, current functionality analyzes, built the architecture of the new or replatforming projects, discussed tons of vary possible ways of implementing required functionality, business flows, project lifecycle and recommended the best approaches. I was also participating in the processes of making proposals.
For the last number of years I was leading my Software Development Team on the projects, I've learned how to be a team player and be an example for others. I was always taking care of my team, so each developer was always able to learn and grow professionally. I'm using Git Pull requests for Code review, Jira for Issue tracking and Confluence for documenting project business/functional specifications.
Starting from 2011 I was working as SFCC developer, grew up to senior level, successfully developed and launched more than 13 projects (based on SFCC SiteGenesis storefront and some on SFRA storefront), was responsible for most complex and difficult backend and frontent integrations for more than 23 clients, provided comprehensive support and maintenance for about 15 different projects.
Based on my knowledge and experience in SFCC, I've designed architectures for business and functional project lifecycles with applying best practices, following the best trends in the web-development, e-commerce and user-experience. I developed a lot of Proof of Concepts for most difficult integrations, wrote a lot of technical specification and documentation, did a lot of code/performance reviews and refactoring.
I've successfully implemented and integrated tons of Import/Export jobs, a lot of different Payment Gateways (Adyen, Cybersource, etc), Address verification services, Tax calculation, vary customer loyalty reward systems and other services. You can find some of the examples of my code on GitHub.
In my projects I'm using different methodologies to make the project happen and go live, such as Agile with Scrum (2 weeks Sprints, backlog and retrospectives), or with Kanban, and of course on some projects I'm working in waterfall.
Starting from 2011 I've provided a lot of consultancy of technical solutions and approaches, provided a comprehensive support for finding and fixing bugs, solved tons of pre/post production issues, being worked in cooperation with on site project development teams and as individual expert.
I have solid experience in Linux, Windows and Mac OS - installing, configuring, working with command line, etc. Starting from 2011 I have several servers in my own for tests (one on Amazon AWS, FreeBSD) and one of them for live site (https://100.org.ua running under Docker Debian on Nginx + PHP-FPM + MariaDB). I'm also using NodeJS and npm package manager in my daily work.
I'm always open to help and listen to anyone, and of course I've not stopped to learn new trends, technologies and of course always applying best practices in web-development and e-commerce experience. All people who I had a pleasure to work and communicate with are happy with me. You can find some of the feedback/recommendations on my Linkedin profile.
