about me
Who I am and what drives me
I’m 35, and I’ve been crafting websites since the 9th grade ⚡ It started with a simple HTML page built with a friend. By the 10th grade, we delivered our first commercial project — a website for an agricultural firm. Ever since, code has been my true calling.
University showed me twice that formal academic tracks aren’t my path 🔧 Real mastery came from hands-on practice: freelancing, demanding projects, and gamedev work. Balancing a factory job with continuous learning, I honed my skills on real-world client challenges.
I am a development perfectionist 💎 I prefer building from scratch over fixing legacy code. That’s why I hand-craft custom WordPress themes, develop bespoke plugins, and engineer deep API integrations. No bloated page builders — just clean code and total quality control.
Beyond code, my life thrives on great company and hookah culture 🪔 The best solutions spark among close friends, and this ritual is my ultimate recharge after tackling tough bugs and strict deadlines.

Developer's journey
First HTML page
A friend and I wrote our first HTML page – GIF animations, links to flash games 🎮 The world of web opened up, and there was no going back.
First commercial project
Built a website for an agricultural firm – first real payment for code. Realized that a hobby could become a profession 💼
University - attempt #1 and #2
Two attempts at university – both times I decided it wasn’t for me. The academic environment gave way to real-world practice 📚
Self-Awareness
Freelancing, personal projects, work in the gaming industry 🔥 In parallel – factory work, studying web dev, contracting for several companies. Markup, business cards, first serious projects.
Strength Test
Completed web development courses to test my skills and systematize knowledge 🎯 Turned out – everything was worth it.
Professional career
Got hired as a markup developer 2 days before my birthday 🚀 Since then – growth from markup to full-stack development of commercial WordPress projects.
