I am a Web Developer and IT Operations specialist with over five years of experience building, testing and maintaining online payment systems. With a proven track record of resolving complex technical challenges, I have played key roles in product development, project management and technical support.

Building full-stack web applications is my primary focus. I enjoy experimenting with new tech stacks and staying up-to-date with the latest web technologies, tools, and design patterns. The JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystem is my area of expertise. I am also proficient in languages like Go for back-end development and PHP for supporting legacy systems.

Simplicity and freedom are the core principles that guide my personal philosophy. I prefer using simple, open-source, and self-hosted solutions. I steer clear of unnecessary complexity and avoid an over-reliance on proprietary third-party services. My goal is to create products that solve problems efficiently. I want to write code that is easy to understand, maintain, and reuse.

Having completed my university education in the United Kingdom, I am bilingual in English and Russian. My professional experience spans multiple industries such as chemistry, data analytics and online payments. I am a second-generation immigrant with roots in Russia and Ukraine who has lived and worked in multiple cities across Western Europe, currently based in Cyprus.
