User Profile

I have about 5 years of experience in web-programming and web-development.

Now I prefer using Python and Django for my projects (I have about 2 years of experience in Django and some experience in Pylons - another Python web-framework), but I often use other languages and technologies - PHP, Perl and even Lisp.

I write clean and standard-compliant HTML (XHTML) and CSS.

While developing front-end JavaScript I prefer using JQuery library.

I work with different versions of MySQL and PostgreSQL RDMS.

I usually use Linux for developing and production. I know how to optimize server and applications for high load (caching, dedicated light server - nginx or lighttpd - for static files, MySQL or PostgreSQL tuning, etc.)

For now my biggest site developed in Django is Free Encyclopedia of Programming Languages - http://progopedia.com/ (Russian version also exists - http://progopedia.ru/). The site uses Python, Django, JQuery with TreeView plug-in, Markdown as markup language, Pygments for syntax highlighting, django-reversion for version control, DISQUS and django-disqus for comments.

Another big site partly developed by me - Russian twitter clone with music playing capabilities and elements of social network - http://lichiko.com/ (Alexa Traffic Rank 80,860). The part of site I developed is basically music search engine (Sphinx-powered - see http://www.sphinxsearch.com/) with huge collection of mp3s. It's is mainly AJAX-powered.

Also I won two web-development competitions at TopCoder.com: Newsweek Yahoo! App Build (PHP, Yahoo Application Platform, Yahoo Markup Language, HTML, CSS) and Facebook Mini Tournament (JavaScript, JQuery, Facebook Connect, HTML, CSS).
