After mastering Graphic Design and working on a variety of Print and Advertising Design media, I then morphed into a UX|UI Web Designer, and later into a Frontend Developer. Diploma in Web Design and Development, gained in 2010, smoothed out the metamorphosis.

To make things worse, I was awarded a Master’s Degree in Arts in one of the European Universities, founded in 1579.

That’s it, in a nutshell. In a very small one.


GOOD AT

Markup

Writing clean, maintainable, well-structured and meaningful HTML/HTML5 markup. Making code compliant with web standards and best dev practices.

Presentation

Abstracting CSS classes and keeping code DRY as much as sensibly possible. Using Sass preprocessor along with SMACSS || ITCSS guidelines.

Functionality

Adding functionality and elegant user interaction with bits of JavaScript, jQuery, Angular, ReactJS and other contemporary JS frameworks.

Responsiveness

Adapting web pages for different user agents and OSs. Meaning, making websites work and look good on desktops, tablets and smart-phones.

EDUCATION

Natcoll/YOOBEE

Diploma in Web Design and Development

1 year of super hot Web Design and Developemnt studies at Natcoll, Wellington, gave me both practical and theoretical skills in IT and Web. The very day I got the Diploma, I signed my job contract with Wellington City Council as a Web Coder.

Vilnius State University

Masters Degree in Arts

It took me 7 years to study Philosophy, Formal Logic, Latin and Greek, History, Arts and Fine Arts with all my passion. The Master’s Degree I gained had no practical application outside of my Alma Mater. However, my logical and systematic thinking wouldn’t be possible without those studies.
