Georgy Marchuk
Hi, my name is Georgy and I'm a Software Engineer with primary expertise in fine-tuned UX. I'm skilled in writing performant and maintainable code and passionate about accessibility, animation, "sweating the small stuff", and leading teams. Of all the things possible, I love improving experience, whether it is user experience or developer experience. I'm a product-focused developer who likes to be involved in product design and decisions.
My background is strongly based on the design agency work, where I collaborated with sound names like Adidas, Avast, Decathlon, KPMG, Raiffeisen, or 3M. I also worked closely with startups like Czech FinTech Twisto and others, with a list ending with Estonian Pipedrive, where I spend most of my time at the moment.
In my free time, you can find me working on open source projects to make life easier for myself and others, and I'm an author of a popular page transition library called swup. I also write up my thoughts for internet blogs like CSS-Tricks from time to time or speak at various meetups. Lately you can also find me preparing a set of courses for beginners and mid-advanced folks.

- Browser painting and considerations for web performance - The web is a place of many environments, where the developer's environment is often far different than the user's.

- A Minimal JavaScript Setup - The success of a development team starts with an agreement. An agreement of how things are done. Without an agreement, code would get messy, and the software unsustainable quite quickly, even for relatively small projects. Therefore, a lot (if not most) of the power of a framework lies within this agreement…
- Is IFrame still relevant? - It’s a couple months into the beginning of the year again, and I’ve been subconsciously evaluating the previous year. As luck would have it, the beginning of the year marked almost a year since I’ve joined a team at Pipedrive, which made the evaluation pretty straightforward for me…
