In general, my experience is as follows:
• Since 2021, after the pandemic happened and the war scaled, I've no relevant work experience, although I'm developing my technical skills by completing various IT courses while looking for a convenient job.
• Since 2017 to 2020, I trained as an IT Architect in a French IT-school 42 affiliate mostly in C and Python study projects with a full-time apprenticeship contract similar to a real job for approximately 50 hours per week.
• Since 2013 to 2017, I worked as a Programmer in a private higher education institute mainly developing and managing LMS Moodle and CMS WordPress based sites with a part- and full-time job contract.
• Since 2007, after graduating from IT college with honors, I was primarily focused on non-IT activities until 2013, but still I maintained installation of OS, drivers and software for users and also worked at a car service station as a PC operator for some time.
During the job search, I've passed a lot of interviews, completed many test assignments and received several job offers from companies in UA and abroad, but unfortunately, I couldn't accept them in consequence of misunderstanding or personal circumstances.
Therefore, I've provided thorough information in this profile in advance for a potential employer to consider.
I can't say for sure what my professional level is, as it can be anything from Intern to Senior depending on the technology stack, onboarding process, mentoring and learning opportunities, productivity of work space and equipment, product or outsourcing company.
While my technical and personal skills may be at a high level, my work experience seems to be less significant, even though I've learned many technologies over multiple years.
I don't pretend for a Mid-Senior position yet, but I probably will within 1-2 years, however you're welcome to offer any position that meets the expectations below.
If you value advanced skills and need an IT Specialist who aims to learn the required technologies and reach a higher level position shortly, and if my profile matches the job requirements, I look forward to hearing from you.

In short, I'm looking for a respectful job, company, conditions.
In more details, convenient working conditions are as follows, taking into account the gained experience, skills, education, increasing living expenses, remote work, cutting-edge technologies, private entrepreneurship, related operating costs.
• Not acceptable:
- gamedev and dating projects, micromanagement, shifts, overtimes, deals with RU.
• Preferable technology:
- Rust or Go primarily, although any other one can be interesting as well.
• Net salary until review respectively:
- ideal $4K Senior or $6K Strong Senior for 2 or 4 years (but my experience is probably not suitable for this)
- desirable $2K Middle or $3K Strong Middle for 1 or 2 years (would be an advantage if offered)
- comfortable $1K Junior or $1.5K Strong Junior for 0.5 or 1 year (most likely the best fit for my skills)
- acceptable $500 Intern or $750 Strong Intern for 3 or 6 months (cautious with no long-term promises).
• Expected review:
- prolongation of the contract may be with the same salary but up to half of its term or until the war is over
- or the contract extension can be for the same or longer period as above plus $1K salary.
• Suitable schedule:
- flexible within the range Mon-Thu 8-20 and Fri 8-16 or negotiable (but mostly it'd be regular 8-9 to 17-18 working hours)
- shorter working day or week will be an advantage (e.g. 7-hour working day, 4-day working week or 2-3 hours less working time on Friday).
• Necessary equipment:
- provided by the company, i.e. sent by post or purchased at a local store, and returned later or owned after 1-2 years
- or personal if there is paid $1K signing bonus or upfront salary during probation or half of its price.
• Essential fully paid social package per year for long-term work in Junior and higher positions:
- 30 working days of vacation and sick leave (can be partially available after probation)
- 10 working days of public and personal holidays or plus $500 salary instead (may be applied after the war)
- medical insurance and gym subscription or plus $100 salary instead (may be applied after the war)
- or one day off per one working week instead of all of this for simplicity.
• Relocation and office work:
- can be negotiable when possible, both within UA and abroad (but it's very expensive as for now).
