Web developer from Vilnius

About

I am an experienced web developer and open-minded best practises follower. Working with a cutting-edge technology is a great joy for me.

My 10+ years of commercial experience includes:

  • massive multi-brand and multilingual long-term projects, development and maintenance of in-house systems, as well as small projects
  • projects that are responsive, accessible, performant and cross-browser compatible
  • working in a big team, in a tiny team and on my own
  • working in Vilnius, London and remotely
  • being a full-stack developer and front-end specialised
  • working with cutting-edge technology and with legacy code

During my career I gained understanding of many aspects of a successful web product. Frequently my involvement was not limited to just writing code, but also leading the team, facing the client, keeping in mind the business value and even recruiting and training other developers.
