Danila Igoshin
Available
Six years of React, TypeScript, and Next.js — focused on performance, architecture, and the unglamorous parts of shipping software. TypeScript migrations, build-system upgrades, and the documentation no one else volunteers to write.
— Selected work
From a solo B2B platform to widgets embedded in a 100+ developer codebase.
Featured
Customer-support chat widget and ticket-management admin panel embedded in a corporate travel platform. Widget architecture with a public API for third-party integration; domain-aware routing for flights, hotels, rail, and transfers.
Built the full frontend for an EdTech platform — course marketplace, scheduling, instructor admin, media viewer, loyalty points. Zero to MVP in five months.
Tech-lead
Three years on Smartway's platform — flights, trains, taxis, transfers, hotels. Built the analytics module, led the TypeScript migration, swapped Webpack for Vite, mentored three developers.
Solo
End-to-end B2B e-commerce platform for industrial equipment — pipe fittings, cable glands, the unglamorous backbone of factories. Catalogue, search, cart, orders, plus a custom CMS for inventory and order management. From requirements to deploy as the sole developer.
The web is a typographic medium. I build it like one — quietly, carefully, and with an eye on what the page is for.
— Now shipping
Looking for the next thing.
Remote, or relocation. Senior frontend, ideally somewhere that takes the craft seriously.
Wrapped up at Smartway.
Shipped the v1 support widget into production. Authored an internal article on LLM practices for the team.
EdTech MVP delivered.
Five months, zero to live MVP for Smart Online Institute. Full Next.js frontend, BFF layer, scheduling, media viewer.

— About
I'm Danila — a frontend developer based in Penza, Russia. I came to the web through a computer-science degree at Penza State University and a small B2B e-commerce I wrote, deployed, and maintained alone. Six years later, I'm still doing roughly the same thing, just with more people in the room and more rigor in the build.
I tend to be the person on a team who cares about build times, performance budgets, and TypeScript adoption. I've migrated Webpack to Vite (ten times faster builds), brought a shopping cart from sluggish to instant, rewritten authentication without breaking anyone's session, and led a full TypeScript migration of a non-trivial codebase in a year.
I mentor others, host internal tech talks (state vs. cache, SSR vs. ISR, the usual), and treat LLMs the way a typesetter treats a press — a tool that produces good work only when it is set up well. I led my last team's adoption of Claude and Cursor.
I'm looking for the next thing. Remote, or relocation — ideally somewhere with good coffee and a team that takes the craft seriously.
Hello, — it's Danila.
