Device farm for remote testing
In April I had a chance to participate in development of internal startup. This project gives ability to test your applications or websites remotely (via webapp) on real devices. I was developing frontend (React, Typescript), agents that control user sessions (Node.js, WebSockets), and tools for receiving device's screen image and sending commands to devices (C++). I created desktop app on Electron to proxy local traffic on remote devices. And I also created a tool to play sound from remote device in user's browser (С++, Node.jsand Web Audio API).

Yandex.Toloka frontend developer
After my tasks that were connected to templates infrastructure I started to work on Toloka frontend. At this period of time we refactored our some parts of codebase to React with Typescript. So at this period I was able improve skills in this areas a lot. I also created many unit and integration tests with Jest.
01.2018
Yandex.Toloka templates infrastructure developer
After half a year working with Directory team and finishing all tasks I returned to Toloka. My main task was to create an infrastructure for developing hard and big Toloka templates. I created a tool via (mostly) Node.js that emulated Toloka environment to make developing such templates much easier. After that it was possible to create templates with different frameworks and libraries, such as React, Angular and etc. At this period I also created some big and complicated templates. There is even an article about one of them (the one with a car on picture).

Yandex.Directory backoffice frontend developer
My team located in Russia in different cities. So it was interesting experience to work from Minsk "remotely" and to go on business trips to work together with development team on huge and important tasks. Project was written fully on BEM stack. My main task was to write e2e tests using Hermione. Than we had a task of updating verion of bem-core and refactor our project. After that my task was to transfer BEM forum to new design. On this project I started to use Node.js much more, so I successfully applied my knowledge from pet-projects.

Yandex.Toloka frontend developer
At 20th of December I received a chance to work as a trainee for Yandex.Toloka project for 3 months. We were using Marionette.js - the Backbone framework. I never used it before, so, that was pretty exciting for me to learn something new. I was doing tasks that were related only for project's frontend. So I applied my knowledge of HTML5, CSS and Javacript during internship. As a result - at the end of my internship I got an offer from Yandex.
Asseco Poland

Trainee
After second year at university I got the opportunity to work for Asseco. So at summer i went to Krakow, Poland. My internship lasted 2 months. It was really entertaining and useful experience for me. My task was to create an app, that prepares releases, so it mostly was related to infrastructure. I created basic web interface, where user could choose required options, and backend on Java, which was working with Git and called some bash commands. I interacted with my team in English, so there were no problems with communication.
