I've been drawn to computers for as long as I can remember, not just using them, but pulling them apart, breaking things, and figuring out how to put them back together. I grew up in Moscow, where I spent my early teens writing scripts to automate games and poking around Linux just to see what I could get away with. Over time, that curiosity turned into a deeper obsession with systems programming, backend architecture, and building tools that actually make people's lives easier.
After moving to the U.S., I studied Computer Science at UConn and recently built a full-stack repair technician platform at UBIF Patriot, from a speedy C++ backend with real-time repair metrics and task delegation, to a sleek SvelteKit desktop app now used daily by over 100 employees. Alongside work, I contribute to open-source projects, and spend time building my own tools and apps, anything that scratches a technical itch or improves some corner of my workflow.
Outside of code, I've been expanding my music taste and recently got hooked on old melodic trance tracks. When I'm not chasing new playlists, I'm either hitting the gym or grinding the ranked ladder in whatever the current flavor-of-the-month tac shooter is.
Designed and built a full-stack repair technician platform from scratch, featuring a C++ backend with asynchronous REST APIs, real-time WebSocket metrics, and concurrent caching for high-throughput performance. Architected a PostgreSQL schema and backend functionality to support granular device diagnostics and business operations such as part ordering, inventory management, and administrative control. Deployed the backend to an in-house Linux server and set up CI pipelines for seamless delivery of the SvelteKit + Tauri desktop app to 100+ repair technicians, boosting diagnostic efficiency by 40%.
