About

Fullstack developer (MERN)

Over 4 years of commercial development in JavaScript and TypeScript. I build complex SPAs and fullstack platforms on the MERN stack — from a headless CMS admin panel to a corporate product with chat, video calls and real-time collaborative editing.

I work confidently on both sides: I design frontend architecture, build Node.js and Express backends, integrate third-party services and deploy everything with Docker.

I am comfortable reading unfamiliar code, refactoring legacy and taking features all the way to production. On client projects I own more than the code — requirements gathering, specifications and breaking work into tasks.

Graduated from Siberian Federal University, Institute of Space and Information Technologies — specialist degree in Application and Operation of Special-Purpose Automated Systems. I moved into web development in my second year.
