Been working with a Figma since 2019 (and with Photoshop before). I made my own training template for educational purposes. Made other websites based on figma templates for courses and webinars. And worked with multiple other designs. Recorded a video "Figma for layout designers"

Git/Github flow

I work with git (mainly via VS Code) and use Github Flow (with HTML Academy students projects for example).

BEM

I began to actively study BEM for a job in Yandex Practicum and continued to use it in education projects. I learned a lot of new things, often not included in the official documentation.

One of my favorite topics, which I consider fundamental for any education and work. Created a lecture how to efficiently search info on frontend and other webdev topics. I constantly teach students the importance of this skill and practice it every day myself)

Education

I create frontend courses from scratch, including training materials (notes, graphics, presentations), develop effective education (simultaneous presentation of theory and practice, gradual increase in difficulty, using all available mediums). I work as an author of materials/teacher/tutor as well as course head creating overall education direction. I also do individual consultations

English (speaking, writing, reading)

Being native Russian speaker I began to learn English at elementary school and then at university, although with varying success and different quality of education. After school I took additional courses. But I learned most of English by myself from movies, games, articles, books. And later at work reading english articles, books, blog posts on design and web dev. Now I regularly read frontend news and documentation in English.

Organizing and planning work

I realized the importance of these topics when I saw that they are often the root of many problems and failures of webdev and education, for individual specialists as well as products and entire companies. I've read a lot of articles and books on this topic. I develop my own approaches for optimal problem solving.

Writing and editing articles

I've been fond of writing on various topics for a long time. Now I always pay attention to the quality of texts on websites including student's works during the educational process.
