With a strong scientific background, Vladimir knows how to handle tricky problems and chases quick and elegant solutions. He's a generalist, always striving to use the best-suited technology for each project instead of always gravitating to the most well-known one. He is also dedicated to pixel-perfect solutions and integrates well with either a front-end or back-end team.

Urban Search

An Australian data-driven real estate search engine. I worked in a team of three on both back-end and front-end development.

Every building was rated and scored depending on various data sources like geolocation data, historical significance, etc. NLP also works on the front-end part of the project, making free text search possible (e.g., You can simply type: "I want a two-bedder with high ceilings and water views in Bondi," and the results will appear).

Fcuking Easy CRM

https://feasy.me/
A featherlight weight CRM system concentrated on sales productivity and built with four core principles in mind:
• Touch-move rule (like in Chess but for communications)
• You need to write down everything (memory is the key)
• Woodpecker sales (write-call-meet till you make it)
• Time only priority
Based on those principles, a salesperson can proceed with several hundred deals simultaneously.
