TL;DR

About me

Professional Journey: I've been in the area for a while now. At first, I created small websites about myself and my interests using just HTML and CSS, then fan forums to connect with people who shared similar passions. Later came a website for our rock band using WordPress, and eventually my first commercial experience building custom CMS themes.

Over time, I realized I wanted to make this my full-time job. Moving to another city brought new challenges and experiences — large projects, hackathons, tech conferences, a dive into mobile development, and eventually leading roles and interviews.

Current Focus: Currently working as a sole React developer, building a SaaS platform for customer support agents that serves over 1000 users daily. I work with the complete development cycle: prototyping, creating designs, coding the front-end, building for production, and publishing. Alongside this, I implement AI into different projects and processes — helping teams move faster and build smarter.
