Education
BSc Computer Science – University of Derby
During my studies I've learned the basics about computer networks, distributed systems, software development, mobile application development, working in a team, relational and NoSQL databases. I was introduced to languages such as Java, C# and Antlr4.

Natalia's Kazakova's Computing School
Even before I had my own PC, I was keen on learning about it. I was more than addicted to computers so I've signed up to this computing school to get a better understanding of what happens behind the scenes. This is where I first learned about computer hardware, HTML and even built a few tiny programs using VisualBasic.

My skillset
Languages I'm fluent in
PHP
I have 8 years commercial experience developing web applications using PHP. I focus on building multi-user, fast, scalable enterprise level applications. I've been around since PHP 4 and currently using PHP 7.0 in production.
SQL
MySQL has been the first choice for a RDBMS for about 6 years. I've dealt with tables of up to 100M rows, optimized, normalized, denormalized schemas, set up replications. I've done everything from query writing to installing MySQL servers on production environments.
Javascript / Node.js
I've used Javascript for the past 4 years. I started off writing simple snippets such as dropdown menu's and now I build modules and single page apps. I love ES6 (and Webpack!) and Node.js which is more commonly my choice for new projects.
