Magento 2 Architect
I've started my professional career as a Magento developer in 2015. Since then, I have passed the certification for Magento, and then for the Magento 2 platform. I participated in the creation of proprietary headless solutions for Magento 2, based on GraphQL and Vue.js (as PHP developer). In addition, I spend some of my free time on personal projects created together with my friends. We have made one of them publicly available: gougou.cash. It is an expense management app with GraphQL API implemented in Elixir on Phoenix framework. I know React, but I'm most interested in the 3d rendering, which is now available on the web thanks to WebGL and Three.js. I've successfully applied the 4-hour working day, which I consider to be the most effective way for a creative career. I was disappointed with the time wasted in useless meetings at my previous workplaces. In healthy teams, people can find the right time to discuss challenges with their teammates.

Work Experience

Magento 2 Architect

SLF24
Contract
Jun 2021 - Present
Magento 2 optimizations for existing and external modules: - defined cache tags for shared blocks (menu, categories slider, product features etc) which reduced load time on catalog pages by 50% - service configuration audit and optimization (Redis, NGINX, Varnish) - implemented application performance monitoring with NewRelic Developed a custom feed exporter. As a result, non-free third party modules (Amasty Feed, Wyomind) are no longer needed. These modules require a separate license for each Magento instance. Moreover, sometimes they did not start exporting, which resulted in a penalty from Google Merchant Center. Custom module works faster (10 minutes instead of 1 hour) and works correctly since 2021. MyPicture - SEO module that allows customers to share product photos on e-commerce website. Introduced automation of AWS infrastructure provision using CloudFormation. Ported Magento media to S3. Implemented image resizing based on AWS services: CloudFront + Lambda. Process automation and cost optimization for AWS - implemented CI/CD on GitLab
