About me

I am a software developer specialized on frontend development with 10 years of work experience. Over the last 6 years I became a well-known expert on Typescript and React in the companies I worked. But my problem-solving skills are not limited to work in the browser I also don’t shy away from optimizing database queries, performance optimizations in deeply nested business logic or debugging third party native SDKs on iOS and Android.
