Work Experience

Software Engineer 1 at EPAM Systems
October 1, 2023 - June 30, 2026
Remote retail platform for Philip Morris International. Worked on a large-scale application used in brand-owned retail shops across international markets, where sales coaches managed customer accounts, browsed the product catalog, and handled device replacements. Delivered guest flow end-to-end as the sole developer for the feature (from design handoff to production). Conducted technical discovery ahead of sprint planning by tracing endpoints and behavior in the legacy production system to define how new features should work before entering the sprint. Handled multi-market configuration and localization (i18n) by adding locales, wiring up translations, and testing each market end-to-end. Contributed to BFF migration by moving Next.js server actions to API routes to improve separation between UI and backend logic. Helped migrate tests from Jest to Vitest using React Testing Library and aligning with the shared component library tooling. Tech stack: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Material
