About me

Kyiv is not quite San Jose, but growing up out here gives you a lot of space to think. I guess my path became defined at age of 3 when my dad bought a bunch of silicon boards to assemble our very first PC. A lot has changed over the years, but I’ve been building for the web since table layouts and under-construction gifs and custom 404 were the Hot New Thing™.

Graduating from college with a degree in Computer Science, I joined my very first company at age of 18. Unfortunately, a 3-year pause had to be done to serve and defend my country from moscovian invaders.

Nonetheless, these days I develop the engineering community, help to grow new talents, startups. Capable of designing and engineering, or handling leadership.

    Community activities

    I wouldn’t be as efficient and skilled without software engineering community. So there is a debt which I’m successfully returning through contribution and knowledge sharing.

    Public speaking

    Helping to grow tech communities by sharing expertise, motivation, and experience.

    Mentoring

    Almost always able to take a part in your career development. Ensuring that your growth is robust and consistent.

    Volunteering

    Life is meaningless if take it all just for yourself. So I'm dedicating part of my free time to promoting health and green initiatives.
