For various reasons I am not ready to work on some projects:
I have nothing against NDA.
I do not write open-source projects on purpose and don’t market them, I rather end up wrapping into a gem the code I have to use in several projects myself.
A wrapper of the process of communicating with the “SMS Pilot” payment system API endpoint providing nice errors and abstracting away the boring part
A plugin for ActiveAdmin CMC that helps using 3 radio buttons (“Yes” | “No” | “Unset’) for a Bullean column that permits a null value
A non-comprehensive database of social nets packed in a Ruby gem
Moscow Metro stations & lines database with ActiveRecord-like access helpers
A very long list (119 261) of burner email domains, packaged for Ruby gems.
A dark color scheme for ActiveAdmin Ruby CMS. The dark theme automatically switches on / off with your system’s dark / light mode. You can override that on the browser level if you wish.
A set of methods that help easily link HTML <input> attributes, such as min, step, type etc. with Rails validators
A plugin for BitBar (MacOS tray app) that helps pull data from UpTime Robot and display it in MacOS tray

This job was office-only.
Sony CIS is the Russian office of Sony.
I worked in a marketing team and was the only designer in the CIS office. I maintained the only 2 official Sony’s websites in Russia — sony.ru and sonystyle.ru (now renamed to store.sony.ru).
Knowing no programming languages yet, I created a shop locator service for Sony Centre stores across Russia based on vanilla CGI-include technique. I also regularly created (designed and coded) stand-alone promotional mini-websites describing some campaigns.

A small web studio of ~20 people, now closed. The main focus was creating and maintaining websites, although sometimes we took video production, stationary, branding, print design etc.
Disappointed with the low speed of creating web graphics in Photoshop I experimented with designing websites only in Illustrator (which was better), and then after digging into more advanced typography (Bringhurst) embraced InDesign-based workflow with embedded graphics created in Photoshop and Illustrator.
