My name is Mikhail Davydov. I am a Principal Frontend Engineer. My passion are brilliant web-interfaces loved by customers. Frontend-centric APIs, which make frontend engineers happy and productive. My primary tech stack is TypeScript, React, Node.js and GraphQL.

In 2014 I moved to Germany and started a new chapter in my developer career. As of today I worked at 3 international startup companies as full-stack JavaScript/Tech Lead and recently transitioned into Principal Frontend Engineer role.

I have a solid public speaker experience with more than 10 talks at big Russian and European conferences. I used to teach JavaScript and other web technologies for 2 years at Yandex Interface School. 200+ future developers attended my classes. I am open to new technologies and read popular blogs like Dev, Google Developers Blog, HTML5 Rocks and keep an eye on Youtube channels of JSConf, Fronteers, Fluent, React Conf etc.

Fun fact about me: I worked for 1 year at a uranium enrichment plant.

My hobby is analog photography.

My Resume

As Principal Frontend Engineer I am deeply integrated in all layers of company: backend, frontend, design, dev-ops, legal, product, data, HR and PR. However my primary focus as JavaScript/Node.js and GraphQL expert are frontend technologies. I make sure that company shines and has a bright future with right number of happy developers onboard. I participate in key architectural and strategical decisions, team building, workshops and mentoring activities. I do public speaking on company behalf, writing articles about tech-stack used in my company as well as tutoring JavaScript and web-technologies in-house and at universities. I am maintainer of key frontend libraries like components and codestyle. I always keep myself in a loop with modern technologies.

It does not matter if I start a project from a scratch or work on existing one – it will shine at the end!
