My name is Alyona Alshaeva. I am a web developer (HTML, CSS, JS) by trade, having previously developed and maintained the website for NTV (owned by Gazprom Media, the largest media company in Russia) for almost 4 years. I moved to the U.S. to start a family in 2018 and turned my passion - home decor and textile crafting - into a business while awaiting my green card, navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, and then being a fully dedicated mother for the first year of my daughter's life. Today, I'm based in the Jacksonville/Saint Augustine area, looking to get back into web development while continuing to pursue crafts as a hobby when I have time. Currently doing freelance work and working toward my Certification X. Coachable, driven, and passionate about a return to web development and programming.
