Dmitry Fedorov’s Summary

My passion is to bring clarity to rich internet applications development on every stage – in the code, in the development process and in the end product.

Although I’m basically focused on software architecture, system analysis and code design, I’m paying close attention to adjacent areas, such as workflow process, documentation quality, code beauty, usability and user experience. I love to learn things, to hone my skills and to use them by tackling challenging and complicated tasks with creative and out‐of‐the box thinking.

I've used to be a CIO, thus I’m capable to perform management and administration tasks, although I love programming much more.

I'm working Adobe Flash Platform since 1999, enjoying programming in general since 1992.

I’m an INTJ type of person in terms of Myers‐Briggs psychometric system.
