2022

As a Product Designer, I worked on a contract project for a housing rental application designed for contractors from Dubai. The goal of the project was to bridge the gap between the rental housing market and technology, which was not well-developed in this area. I designed the application to offer a more user-friendly and convenient solution for landlords and tenants.

One of the main challenges in the rental housing market was that landlords had to personally collect payments at the end of each month and issue and collect keys to the home. To solve this, I created an application that allowed access to apartments using a mobile device. The registration process involved a uniquely generated access code that was sent to the mobile operator number after the authentication ID.

I also implemented a chat feature in the application that allowed for communication between the landlord and up to seven participants in the lease. This feature helped speed up resolving emerging problems and other issues.

Payment processing was also a key feature of the Homie application. Tenants could attach a payment card, split payments between participants, and pay for various services. The interface for apartment owners allowed them to view monthly payments for each apartment they owned, which helped them keep track of their entire property.

Another essential feature of the Homie application was accessibility to a variety of services such as dry cleaning, delivery, car rental, and more. This integration with other companies and brands helped increase the company's income.

Overall, I designed a comprehensive and efficient application that provided a user-friendly, convenient, and streamlined solution for rental housing market participants.

As a software developer, I led a project supported by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to address the issue of cyberbullying in educational institutions nationwide. My role in the project involved developing a user-friendly platform that empowered educators and students to report and respond to instances of cyberbullying in real time. This platform included monitoring and reporting tools to help school administrators take proactive measures to protect their students.

To further support victims of cyberbullying, our team integrated a feature that provided anonymous access to online communication with qualified psychologists, lawyers, and other professionals. This feature ensured that users could receive help and advice without fear of judgment or retaliation.

Our project was widely recognized for its innovation and impact, earning two international awards for its contribution to the fight against cyberbullying. I am proud to have played a significant role in this project, which has made a meaningful difference in the lives of many individuals affected by cyberbullying.

This project highlights my ability to design and develop innovative solutions to tackle complex social issues. It also showcases my commitment to using technology to create positive change and my ability to work collaboratively with stakeholders to achieve shared goals.

As a UX/UI Designer, I contributed to the development of a mobile application that revolutionized the way the restaurant industry interacts with customers. Our app provided a seamless and intuitive experience for users to discover, browse, and order food from local restaurants.

One of the key features of the app was its integration with Instagram, which allowed restaurants to promote their business in stories and offer incentives to customers for sharing their dining experiences on social media. This helped to increase brand awareness, attract new customers and foster loyalty among existing ones.

As a member of the design team, my contributions included designing and refining the user interface, creating wireframes and prototypes, and conducting user testing to ensure the app met the needs of both restaurant owners and their customers. I worked closely with the development team to ensure the app was user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and delivered an exceptional experience.

Through my work on this project, I gained valuable experience in designing mobile applications that leverage the power of social media to drive engagement and grow businesses. This project also demonstrated my ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative solutions that meet the needs of both clients and end users.

2021

🥇
As a UX/UI designer and user experience developer, I am passionate about creating concepts that inspire designers around the world to create intuitive and aesthetically pleasing interfaces, not boring dry interfaces, but an interface where you don't think about how you use them, do not think about where the solutions are and by which I came. My design philosophy is focused on creating interfaces that are aesthetically pleasing. This should be the driving force behind the design in the future.

Check out the design in detail at the link attached to the title of the project, which won 2 international awards for best design and custom solution.

Overall, I strive to push the boundaries of design and technology, drive innovation, and inspire others to create great solutions that are both functional and visually appealing.
