Personal achievements

In October 2022, I participated in a hackathon from VTB Bank on a web track as a front‑end developer. We developed a system to increase the involvement of employees in corporate activities. Our team took third place and a cash prize. Here is my winner certificate:
Pet‑projects

In 2021, I worked as an English teacher at a local learning center for 6 months. I mainly taught students from level A1 to B2. The experience gained there not only improved my speaking skills, but also my ability to explain complex things in simple terms.
JavaScript Bot
Telegram‑bot that executes user‑provided JavaScript. The main achievement is the degree of safety. So far, no one has been able to hack it.
