About me

Full-stack developer, 14+ years of continuous practice since 2012: system architecture, database design, APIs, complex user interfaces, third-party integrations and deployment infrastructure. I build web applications, mobile applications and games — from prototype to release and support.

I have worked both on my own and leading small teams, covering the whole cycle — from the database and backend to the frontend and DevOps. Remote work for companies in Russia, Cyprus, Poland, Spain, France, Thailand and Georgia goes alongside the products of my own studio, VR9: from the data schema to keeping them running in production.

Development is also a constant personal habit: from small services and game prototypes to large data engineering experiments. Some of those grow into public products, some stay a testing ground for new technologies.

The way of working has shifted too: agentic processes and multi-model orchestration now run through planning, review and delivery. It changes how fast an idea becomes a working product, and that keeps developing.
