Personality
At work I'm a passionate developer; strong supporter of best practices and patterns; serious about code readability, maintainability and scalability; believe in testing. On the scale from quick-n-dirty to slow-but-thorough, I lean toward the latter.
Off duty, I'm a loving husband and father, an avid debater, a board game geek, a retired recreational cyclist, a crazy Russian and an affable guy with a slightly twisted sense of humor.
I live in Moscow, Russia. Love working remotely from other beautiful places. Able to adjust to your timezone for partial or full work hours overlap.

Frontend Developer with EmberJS and AngularJS at Hell'o Baby, Russia
The flagship product of Hell'o Baby was originally implemented in Backbone, I led it's reimplementation from scratch in Angular. I did frontend developer myself and managed outstaffed devs.
I leveraged Ember to implement the company's internal admin panel. In its core was a builder of high-level database requests. A sophisticated form was generated dynamically according to a structure determined by the backend.
The resulting data selections were presented as various graphs built with Highcharts for analytics.
The admin panel also offered an email builder — for both newsletters and individual messages. All email templates were rendered live into a thumbnail gallery. The gallery could be filtered.
Hell'o Baby homepage contains complex canvas animations, designed by company's artists. In order to keep performance stable, I had to orchestrate animations, so that only currently visible animations were playing. Animations that appeared nearby were synchronized.

About This Website
This website is supposed to be a humble showcase of my skills and some Ember features.
It leverages the following technologies:
All pages are prerendered into static HTML and display immediately on page load. All links behave like regular HTML links. When the Ember app loads, it takes control, turning the website into an SPA. This is possible thanks to FastBoot and ef4/prember.
Internationalization (i18n): the website is available in two languages. UI labels, content and dates are translated. For translating UI, I use jamesarosen/ember-i18n.
Responsive Web Design is coded with the lolmaus/breakpoint-slicer Sass lib. It allows defining responsive rules effortlessly. I would use lolmaus/ember-element-query for granular control, but element queries require JS which is not available in FastBoot.
During build, the website is hitting GitHub and StackOverflow API to collect stats. As both services severely limit API usage, the app won't download stats if they're available from FastBoot.
GitHub authentication is implemented: log in to star/unstar projects without leaving the app.
Content is stored as Markdown with Front Matter. Carefully overridden adapters and serializers are used to work with endpoints and data formats.
I couldn't use offirgolan/ember-burger-menu because its menu is unavailable while app is still loading. So I googled a bit and implemented an off-screen menu with pure CSS. It has some restrictions, but overall result is super sleek!
