I able to work with a wide range of technologies and tools in both front-end and back-end development. I am a big fan of the React,NestJS and PostgreSQL, but also I have experience with React Native, Vue, Next.js, Remix, Firebase, Supabase, GraphQL, Node.js, Fastify and other technologies.

When I'm not coding, you might find me capturing life through a lens πΈ, riding a bicycle π΄, perfecting my pizza recipe π, or embarking on tourist trips with a tent ποΈ. Check out my photography Instagram.




At home, I have to two red cats ππ, though one is not quite as red as a desert.
