I build intelligent web apps that delight users
Over the last decade I worked in startups and was responsible for most technical aspects, from system architecture to full-stack development. Here are the things I'm good at and love doing:
Building things. I have 15 years of experience building full-stack database-driven cross-platform apps in Python and JavaScript. Can quickly build a simple prototype or develop a full-featured complex solution with multiple integrations, pay attention to details, take care of security and make things work fast.
User experience. I care deeply about user experience. That includes understanding user psychology, creating an intuitive and efficient user interface, performing usability testing and designing multi-channel user interactions. Particularly I specialize in UX of developer-focused tools.
Business modelling. Technical solutions should solve business problems. I make sure both are aligned and understand the business aspects of startups, including business modelling, strategy and marketing.
