• Developed and released a big product initiative introducing POS (Point of Sale) experience. Being the only fullstack engineer within the team, switched to purely FE (React + TS) work towards the end of the project as it required more attention.
• Later transitioned to the Payments team helping with transition to the new ledger system.

• I was leading a new team within EMEA (later global) Security & Loss Prevention department working on an internal application from scratch (+ provided support for some existing apps my team got ownership of).
• Was specifically hired to a new team to implement a new project (knowledge management system) for the security specialists. Designed (techical side of things) the whole system. The challenge was the absence of any similarities in experience within the team and having to adapt to Amazon's ways of working e.g. had to do some budgeting and use AWS for everything.
• We delivered the MVP and the department was actively introducing it into their workflow (primarily, for trainings, overview articles, and index pages).
• Also had some fun trainings related to Security and Loss Prevention.

• Initially, joined the "Used/Leasing" team. At the time that part of the business was new and full of potential so it involved a lot of product work and cross-functional collaboration. Some highlights of the experience: lots of AB-testing, cross-team collaboration (data analysts, designers, user researchers), Elm programming language, large team with well-oiled Kanban-based process.
• Later transitioned to the data team responsible for sinking and transforming large amounts of data coming from 3rd party vendors (hundreds GBs a night). The reason was primarily due to the team leader leaving and me being the only person outside the team who knew Clojure (and was interested in it). Apart from getting a chance to work with Clojure professionally, I was exposed to Kafka and working in a much smaller and chaotic team.

• InSales is a SaaS platform for creating online shops. Basically, it's russian Shopify.
• Initially, worked on the authorisation system (roles and permissions) within the main product.
• However, shortly after was transitioned to the internal initiative to build a customer-facing helpdesk system to replace Zendesk. The initiative was around for a while but multiple developers have given up on it. Built and delivered it mostly from scratch (reused as much of the old prototypes as possible). The project was a success and the support team (along with the customers) were fully migrated to the new app giving the company full control over it (e.g. we introduced a reward system for the support team) and saving money long-term since they didn't have to pay for Zendesk anymore.
• My next project was a prototype for a system that established vendor-reseller relationship between different stores within the problem. I delivered the MVP just before I left the company to move to the UK.
