• 2024 to now

  Qneiform

  B2B SaaS platform. Founding frontend engineer.

  • I joined as the first frontend engineer. The company had just finished its MVP inside a venture fund and spun out on its own, and my job was to grow that MVP into a full platform.
  • I began with an audit of the code. The first thing I changed was the state: many small Zustand stores became one single store. There was less code to read, debugging got much easier, and fewer bugs reached us at all.
  • The filtering system is one of the core features of the product, and I rebuilt it from the ground up. The product now holds more than five times as many filters, and adding a new one takes half an hour instead of a full day.
  • While I have been here the team has grown from 4 to 17 engineers. Every frontend pull request comes to me, three or four a day, and nothing goes to production without my approval. A good part of the job is also helping new engineers find their way around the code.
  • Through all of it I work closely with the product manager and the designer, from the first grooming session to the release.

• 2021 to 2023

  Kwebbl

  Unified cloud communications platform for service providers and IT distributors. Senior frontend engineer at Grid Dynamics.

  • Kwebbl had years of history behind it, and so did the code. A good part of my job was keeping the legacy KnockoutJS applications healthy and extending them where the product still needed it.
  • I joined the development of the mobile application, written in React Native, alongside the web client.
  • The piece I owned end to end was a new CRM for the support team. I took it from an empty repository to production, and after it shipped the team handled customer requests noticeably faster. Of the two years, that is the work I am most pleased with.
  • The main challenge here was the switching itself: moving quickly between projects and tasks, from legacy code and the mobile application to building the new CRM.

  React, React Native, Redux, GraphQL, TypeScript, KnockoutJS

• 2020 to 2021

  VidaXL

  International online retailer. Frontend engineer at Grid Dynamics.

  • I came onto a Vue and Nuxt codebase and worked on the parts people touched every day: the back office, the customer account, and the order tracking portal. I left that codebase much cleaner than I found it.
  • The product was built by several teams in different countries. Keeping that work in sync was the main challenge of the project, so a good part of my time went into agreeing things across teams and not only into writing code.

  Vue, Vuex, Nuxt

• 2018 to 2020

  Adraba

  An outsourcing company that also built a product of its own. I worked on both.

  • The first project was client work: JAMB, an exam preparation app for students in Nigeria. I worked on it in React Native, and we carried it through to release on Google Play.
  • The second was Jobla, the product the company was building for itself: a platform for anonymous job search for IT specialists. We started it from an empty repository, and I worked on new features as the product took shape.
  • Much of those two years was the ordinary work of a product developer: new features, fixes, releases, one after another. It is where I learned to take a feature from an idea to something people actually use.

  React Native, Redux-saga, Vue, Nuxt, TypeScript

• 2017 to 2018

  Scrumi

  A task manager. My first job, straight out of studying.

  • We were building a task manager. It was the project where React and Redux went from something I had read about to something I could really work in.
  • Most of what I learned that year came from the engineers around me, from reading their code and from having my own taken apart in review. Everything was new, so everything was interesting. I still think of it as the best start I could have had.

  React, Redux

  My direct manager

  Steven Bosch

  CTO, Qneiform

  “Managing Artem has been a genuine pleasure. Coming in as the first frontend engineer on the team, he made an impact from the start. He showed a real ability to adapt, autonomously picking up entirely new frameworks to become effective from early on. Beyond his technical depth, he has shown a strong interest in the business context behind his work, keeping the bigger picture in mind even when heads-down on delivery. What has made Artem particularly valuable is how dependable he is. There is never any ambiguity about what you can expect from him. He delivers, he owns his work, and he holds himself to a high bar without needing to be asked. That kind of reliability is rare, and it has had a real impact on the team around him. Any engineering team would be fortunate to have him. I highly recommend Artem.”
