Sergey Zakharov

Who I am

I am a senior full-stack developer with more than twelve years of software development experience. I have developed, launched, and maintained a lot of public and in-house web projects and tools from scratch, both as a solo developer and as a part of a team. I've hired, educated, mentored, and managed developers. I have worked directly with clients, participated in every stage of a project — from idea to launch, — and have led cross-functional teams through development of complex projects.

I have varied work experience: a corporation, a research institute, an educational non-profit, a media outlet, a design agency, an ML-startup, various cultural and art institutions, and, lastly, a company that has millions of users and was #1 on the App Store and Google Play multiple times. I have authored and taught a web design and development course. I co-founded a compact web design and development studio.

Among my freelance works are a volunteer project providing information to people affected by the war in Ukraine^* (2022), official websites for both Canadian and Russian pavilions at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition (2021), the website of the oldest cinema in Moscow (2021), e-flux's educational project , an in-browser 3D game for an art movie promo, type design workshop by Contrast Foundry, and a business program website which won Type Directors Club and awwwards.

I enjoy purposeful use of technologies, craftsmanship, and beauty. I value effectiveness, sustainability, and culture. I tend to think of a project as a whole and like to work across the stack, participating in the frontend and backend development, database and infrastructure management, as well as collaborating closely with clients, developers, designers, and other team members, making sure the project meets its purpose.

I speak English and Russian. I have a bachelor’s degree in Business Informatics and have taken online courses on algorithm design, functional programming, system design, and 3D web development.

I'm up for hire, project work, consulting, and collaboration

If you have a project or an idea you'd like to work with me on please send me an e-mail.

Statement on War

The war that Russia wages against Ukraine is a horrendous crime. Putin and his "government" are war criminals and genocidaires and should be treated accordingly. Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and wounded, and millions displaced, because of their crimes. Support Ukraine.
