Artem Zverev

Senior Frontend Developer

Frontend engineer, 6+ years. React, TypeScript, Next.js — the usual stack, but I've also spent a lot of time with Angular and know what it takes to drag a codebase through 10 major versions without losing the team's sanity. At VK now — OK.ru, 40M+ users, high-load, cross-browser fun. Previously built CRMs from scratch, shipped design systems, and spent more time in Storybook than I'd like to admit.
