    I don't want to just build you a website, I want to build you a brand experience that clients will recognize each time they interact with your brand. With a Master in Business Administration and Master's in Mass Communication with a specialization in Web Design from the University of Florida, I realize that design and business objectives go hand in hand. You need a design that represents your company's personality, yet gives you an edge from the competition. I don't build basic, stock sites, I build designs that ignite your brand. I want your site to be different and memorable to your target audience so that we can keep them coming back. With my process, I find the heart and soul of your brand, and then I design your site to stand out from the crowd. With experience in static and e-commerce sites on multiple platforms, I am sure I can design you a site that suits your needs. So let's shake things up together.

    For the last 5 years, I worked as a developer in a team which developed probably the best tools suite for Amazon FBA sellers. That was a complex web application based on the Yii2 framework, which contained more than 20 docker containers. My core competency was report processing and getting data from Amazon MWS API. For now, I developed a set of tools related to Amazon SP API, so can complete such tasks as UPC to ASIN matching, generating Amzon sales, FBA and FBM inventory and margin reports, etc on a per volume basis. Throughout my professional activity for the last 9 years, I had worked with a lot of different 3-d party API's , starting from social networks and payments gateways to Aws and Twillio. I'm familiar with docker, rabbitMQ, Node.js, chrome extensions, etc. From my point of view, I can deal with almost every technology, if there is good documentation for it. In general, I prefer tasks with a big research part. My US visa is valid for the next 8 years and I can visit the EU visa-free. Always open to short and long trips. I already visited more than 15 countries on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and hope to continue my trips.
