hey, I'm Oleksandr Ratushnyi 👋
I'm fullstack developer from 🇺🇦 Ukraine. My 🫶 stack is React, NestJS and PostgreSQL.
I have experience in teaching and creating courses in front-end development. I have successfully released three groups of students in front-end development. Additionally, I crafted my own course for the Merge Academy.
When I'm not coding, you might find me capturing life through a lens 📸, riding a bicycle 🚴, perfecting my pizza recipe 🍕, or embarking on tourist trips with a tent 🏕️. Check out my photography Instagram.
At home, I have to two red cats 🐈🐈, though one is not quite as red as a desert.
