I’m Illia Hulenko, a full stack developer with 5+ years of experience building scalable web applications and improving performance and reliability end to end. I’ve delivered React-based platforms used by 50,000+ external users and 12,000+ employees, working with TypeScript, Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL while strengthening UI performance, API efficiency, and code quality through testing. I enjoy engineering collaborative solutions with measurable impact—like reducing server load times by 50% using Redux optimization and code splitting, and lowering QA defects by writing Jest test coverage for critical React components. I’m also deepening my high-performance backend focus by building production applications with Rust, Axum, Tokio, and Dioxus, while keeping a strong foundation in Agile/Scrum workflows and developer tooling.
