in a couple of sentences… or more 😜
My name is Dmitry Sharabin, and I have been a front-end web developer since 2018. Most of the time, I work with Lea Verou on open source libraries and tools that web developers use every day. Besides that, I build web apps and websites for clients.
I strongly advocate for open source and am an active member of many open source projects, including Prism, Color.js and Color Elements, hTest, Nudeps, Style Observer, Mavo (which I've been passionate about since 2019), and many more.
I love building things with HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, and I reach for Angular when a project needs something more complex. I'm a huge fan of RxJS, Taiga UI, and Firebase, which are (from my perspective) excellent tools for the job.
I use AI coding agents in my daily work and don't hide it. They let me spend more time on design and product decisions, but I still read every line they write.
I also taught informatics to people of all ages for almost two decades. I am an expert in Microsoft Office Suite (MOS Master and Office 2019 Expert) and a former Microsoft Certified Trainer (2020–2023).
I enjoy sharing knowledge, helping people solve their issues and achieve their goals, writing code, and designing.
