About
Since 2009, I've built a 16-year career growing from a Flash game programmer into a lead software engineer and frontend architect.
I started in browser-based game development and then moved into interactive web applications where I led projects end to end, covering UI and UX, React and Redux frontends, and Node and Express backends for agencies and product teams.
Today at EPAM, I lead frontend development for large-scale products using React, Node.js, and modern web tooling, with a strong focus on architecture, performance, and practical use of AI-assisted development across the stack.
