Customer feedback

Can't even begin to express the thanks and appreciation feel. We just released one of the most difficult projects of my career. I would also like to call out Oleksandr. Wow. This guy is amazing, smart, hard-working, patient, and always with a smile. Also without him, there is no way we would have been successful.

Career Background

Covent IT

2023 - Present (Software Engineer)

Joined to existing team as a developer. The team started the development of a new microservice that calculates marketing proposition for a customer. The project contained a lot of formulas and manipulation of data. My first contribution to a project was to set up a stable CI/CD pipeline with Unit and Integration tests. After that suggested to use Dapper instead of EntityFramework for data retrieval to boost development and application performance. Worked on infrastructure for RabbitMQ between services. Successfully finished with development and was transferred to a different area. My next responsibility was to create and set up a new microservice which will work as a proxy for different clients and will talk to internal services. I've designed documented and implemented a new microservice from scratch with CI/CD, Unit and Integration tests infrastructure, and Authentication/Authorization mechanism.
