Hi, my name is
Yevhen Balahutrak.
I build things for the web.
Experienced Software Engineer with a background in developing and integrating web applications. Full time employee at SMARTECNIA SLsince January 2024.
About Me
Hello! My name is Yevhen and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. My interest in web development started back in 2021 when I decided to try editing custom Tumblr themes — turns out hacking together a custom reblog button taught me a lot about HTML & CSS!
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of working at a construction firm, a start-up, and a freelance project. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences for a variety of clients.
In addition to the technical work, my role involves assessing clients' needs, deliver reports, and ensure client satisfaction.
Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:
- JavaScript (ES6+)
- TypeScript
- React
- Next.js
- Python
- SQL
