With hands-on experience in full-stack web development and a solid educational background, I am excited about the opportunity to bring my expertise and creativity to your team. In recent years, I developed a passion for building dynamic, high-performance websites that align with modern design principles and business goals. I specialize in custom e-commerce and business information websites, ensuring they are visually engaging, fully responsive, and functional.

In my recent role at Redding Designs, London, ON, I collaborated effectively with cross-functional teams using tools like Slack, ProofHub, and Git, while also taking ownership of individual tasks within Agile development cycles. I specialized in creating custom WordPress websites, leveraging PHP and WordPress backend features to build flexible and scalable back-end structures. Translated Figma designs into responsive, high-performance front-end interfaces using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and TypeScript. Maintained code quality and project efficiency through Git version control. Enhanced website functionality and user experience by installing and customizing WordPress plugins with PHP, ensuring optimal performance, security, and maintainability. Consistently applied SEO best practices to drive website visibility and performance improvements.

At the same time, I’ve been working on full-stack personal projects using React, Java Spring Boot, Node.js, and Docker. Explore my latest projects and contributions on GitHub: https://github.com/slava-sapir. I actively take courses and build full-stack applications, leveraging different technologies. For example, recently I created a Secure Document Management Application using Java Spring Boot for robust backend solutions / API development and Docker for PostgreSQL containerizing. On the front end, I utilized React for interactivity, API integration, and dynamic data representation. The project will be deployed using the CI/CD AWS pipeline. My ongoing commitment to learning ensures that I stay up to date with the latest industry practices, enabling me to deliver seamless end-to-end solutions tailored to business needs. More details about my work can be found at my GitHub.

I am highly committed to effective time management, ensuring I meet deadlines and consistently deliver quality work. By prioritizing tasks, leveraging productivity tools, and maintaining a structured approach to my workflow, I balance multiple responsibilities efficiently while staying focused on achieving project goals. I would welcome the opportunity to share complete e-commerce and information live websites, which exemplify my dedication to delivering high-quality, impactful projects.
