Profile

I build reliable server-side foundations

I’m a backend developer from Belgorod, now living and studying in Saint Petersburg. I started programming in my teens and have been steadily focusing on backend engineering ever since.

I design application structures and work with relational databases, caching, and REST APIs. I study Applied Computer Science at ITMO University and use that knowledge in commercial and research projects.

Outside development, I play guitar, perform at university concerts, and enjoy mind sports.
