About

I build interfaces that feel simple on the surface and stay dependable underneath.

Since 2009, I've grown from a Flash game programmer into a lead software engineer and frontend architect—always working where engineering craft meets the user experience.

Today at EPAM, I lead frontend development for large-scale products with React, Node.js, and modern web tooling, focusing on architecture, performance, design systems, and pragmatic AI-assisted delivery.
