Robert Baindourov: Freelance Web Designer & Developer in LA
Summary: Hi! I'm Robert Baindourov, a freelance web master and full-stack IT professional. With over 15 years of experience, I can help you launch your next product or idea using the latest web technologies and secure, optimized architectures.
Over 15 Years of Custom Web Development Experience
My journey in programming started in 1998, learning how to create HTML pages from scratch in the California ROP program as a high school student. Through building and repairing computers for family and clients, I gained hands-on experience leading up to the Y2K era, which naturally led me into programming in BASIC by 2000.
From Visual Basic to Full-Stack Engineering
While exploring different platforms, I decided to focus on Windows and web development. My early projects involved creating keyloggers, telnet servers, and root-kit applications using Visual Basic and Visual C++. This exposure to Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) laid the groundwork for my understanding of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm and Object-Oriented Programming.
During my university studies, I completed rigorous coursework spanning Calculus, Physics, Discrete Math, Algorithm Design, Java, SQL, and C++. I also worked as a Supplemental Instruction tutor, helping students in a computer-equipped classroom while managing database design, network setup, and IT operations for local businesses.
Mastering the LAMP Stack and Modern Web Architecture
By 2003, I was fully immersed in web development, tackling CSS, browser inconsistencies, and emerging internet technologies. My first major freelance project involved building a custom shopping cart in VB.NET. Shortly after, I partnered with graphic designers to launch several e-commerce and corporate platforms using classic ASP and PHP.
As the web evolved, so did my skill set. In 2006, I expanded into Photoshop, Flash, CSS2, and AJAX. Realizing that robust web applications needed structural integrity similar to desktop MFC frameworks, I embraced PHP frameworks like Smarty and Zend to bring MVC architecture to the web. Today, I operate my own web hosting and design company, continuing to build scalable, high-performance web applications.
