With over 16 years of hands-on experience in software development and IT project management, I've built a career that spans a variety of industries and technology domains.

I've led projects that have received industry recognition, such as the HR Brand Award in Belarus for the "Digital Transformation of HR Processes" project, which highlighted our success in automating and optimizing business processes. I specialize in Bitrix and Bitrix24 CRM with more than 12 years of experience, creating complex e-commerce solutions, custom integrations, and unique functionalities to meet diverse business needs. My technical skills include expertise in PHP, Laravel, NodeJS, Zend Framework (Laminas), Yii Framework, JavaScript, jQuery, Ajax, HTML, CSS, and MySQL, as well as proficiency in C/C++, C#, Pascal, VBA, Delphi, and .NET technologies. I am comfortable working across Windows, Linux, and Mac environments, and I also have extensive experience with WordPress. Currently, I lead a team of talented developers who focus on creating innovative solutions with Laravel and NodeJS, striving to build scalable applications that meet modern industry standards. I am passionate about guiding my team through complex challenges, ensuring our projects exceed expectations and deliver high-impact results. I’m always open to new connections and networking opportunities.
