Dmitry Zhukov
An enthusiastic front-end developerHello! My name is Zhukov Dmitry, I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia, and recently moved to Yerevan, Armenia with my wife due to a job opportunity she recieved.
I wish to join a professional team and experience an actual production process first-hand, with many people doing many things to a single project, with passion and elbow grease.👨🏻💻
SoloLearn
SOLOLEARN - one of the first websites with free courses I've found. Some courses did not age too well, but bite-sized lessons were exactly what I needed to make my first steps easier.
freecodecamp.org
Responsive Web Design, Javascript Algorithms and Data
Structures, Back End Development and APIs:
In progress
Really nice courses, even though
they do remind of SoloLearn ones. Absolutely feel more up-to
date though, and ES6 part is so much more comprehensive
Some tasks are deployed here
The Odin project
Javascript, Advanced HTML&CSS: In progress
Quite an expansive course. Foundations course was solid, a lot
of what seemed like flavour text, but a lot of useful and
digestible information too.
Rolling Scopes School
JavaScript - Stage1: In progress
This course
is intense, oof. But hard = effecient, and the community is
really nice
Quantori JavaScript School
In progress
A course that started out simple,
but complexity is cumulative. Aims to grow from HTML basics to
Typescript, React, Redux and testing
Homework is deployed here, with certain modifications/expansions
My experience consists of what progress I've made while learning, and a bit of freelance work. This is, of course, a matter of time. Let's start simple:
- Classic FizzBuzz exercise with contenteditabe styles inside the body tag - meaning it is possible to update styles directly on the page
- Here's an example of a simplest ever React app with an API call to an outer recourse: BoredAPICalls
- React components is a page with things I pulled from the web and moved to React. Some practice, learning
- I applied for a job somewhere and they wanted me to make this page as a test. I did and I totally enjoyed coming up with these animations.
- Here's a page I designed in Figma first as a part of swiss design seminar. Then I thought it looks nice enough to be on the internet.
- A web-app made with chatium platform - written with TSX. Features: uploading images and some logic to rate them based on user votes. Here's a link Another thing I did there: notes app (May not be available because HTML as a feature was under development)
There are two projects that will be finished someday, maybe:
- Tabletop RPG-assistant website (Something I plan to use personally, but will most likely rebuild, like, 5 times before it happens)
- Drag-and-Drop web-application (An adaptation of this application for a different game). Link: MW5-mechlab, features: dynamically created pages (with Astro), displaying mech data, scraped from game files, not yet: actual drag-n-drop mechlab
- This very page. I think it looks nice.
Things I did for money:
-
Adding content, responsiveness, changing styles, icons and
pictures to a Bootstrap-based website for a startup, also
added basic SEO tools:
stekk.ru
Update: Adding PHP Mailer with validation on both client- and server-side (with Google Recaptcha v3)
- Fixing, refactoring and improving this dataset - with a viewer of hystology scans of human brain. Utilizes Yandex bucket API and leaflet.js library. Dynamically creates pages and elements on certain pages from cloud storage. In progress, working branch at this GitHub repo
- I have worked for chatium for a while. Created a note app plugin with TSX and built-in methods of the platform
HTML5
CSS3
Javascript
JSX, Typescript, TSX
Javascript frameworks
Responsive and adaptive web-design
Git version control
Design applications
I also had some experience with Inkskape, fixing SVG icons, and obviously with MSPaint(Who doesn't have experience with MSPaint?)
Early in my life I made an uneducated decision to pursue a career of a doctor. As an entry step to this profession I graduated from a medical college with a nursing degree. After that I served as a conscript in a largest military hospital of the national guard forces, unfortunately losing faith in my career choice due to the state of public health institutions in Russia.
My next job was health-related nonetheless - I became a lab assistant in a private IVF Clinic. I learned laboratory techniques, mostly those related to assisted reproduction, worked with biological material and acquired a lot of experience developing and maintaining tremendously large patient databases via Microsoft Excel and a certain 1C-based system ('Medialog'). I also created monthly and yearly reports, including reports for Russian Association for Human Reproduction, kept track of medical supplies, maintained lab equipment, took care of all the paperwork in the lab, occasionally worked as an operating nurse and on rare occasions consulted patients on lab techniques.
After 4.5 years of this "generalist" role I moved to a different country. I am now certain about altering my career path towards IT, and front-end development to be precise. Creating eye-catching web-sites to accentuate beatiful content and practical web-applications for lifestyle and entertainment is fun!
