Initially, I made the mistake of taking on tasks related to search engine optimization and targeted marketing. I was responsible for gathering site semantics and assigning tasks to other freelancers, such as copywriters, designers, HTML coders, and programmers, to achieve the desired results for clients.After that, I wanted to delve deeper into development and began working on business process automation. I chose Python, particularly the Django framework, for these projects. I successfully created a solution for automating business processes for a small company that repairs devices and computers, which had 20 users. The low barriers to entry in Python, combined with my development experience, allowed me to complete the project in a short time.Another interesting project was a local product for a company that develops professional kitchen technology. I created a configurator-calculator that allowed customers to configure unique freezer machines for their kitchens with customizable parameters. I also developed several websites for a cluster of manufacturers that produced various products for professional chefs.I also worked with a door manufacturing company that had a dealer network across Russia. I developed a website showcasing their products and created a platform for this network to automate door configurations and manage the entire delivery process, from production to installation for the client.I had more projects over this long period, but most of them involved typical site creation, such as landing pages, catalogs, fast food delivery sites, and so on.
