Selected work

What I built

Click a module on the rack: a signal shows how the pieces talk to each other.

01 / 05 · exam platformongoing

From scratchFeb – Oct 2026

Exam platform

Ukrainian public body · qualification exams · two services

Role: Software engineer, features on both services
Team: Several engineers

Problem

Exam questions are written and reviewed in one system; candidates take the exam securely in another.

What I did

Exam sessions end to end: start, extra time, recovery, grading
Task bank features in Odoo: review, archive, signing
Much of the JWT integration between the two services

Hardest bug

A browser freeze in the live exam UI: two DOM observers, a Datastar binding and a web component, fighting over one attribute. Found the root cause, moved the binding, added a regression test.
