About Me

Summary

I am a dedicated full-stack software developer with over 7 years of experience in production development. My expertise spans a wide range of business domains, including HealthCare, IoT, GameDev, FinTech, and E-Commerce. I am proficient in several programming languages, such as Java, Kotlin, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and C/C++. My passion for the IT industry traces back to my early years when I actively participated in IT Olympiads during high school and university. This experience helped me build a solid foundation in computer science and honed my problem-solving skills, which are essential for a software engineer. My primary interest lies in back-end software development, with a preference for Java and the Spring stack. Consequently, in full-stack positions, I thrive in roles that emphasize back-end work over front-end. I have a strong inclination towards automating processes and possess a DevOps mindset. In addition to this, I am enthusiastic about the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain technology. My passion for these emerging technologies drives me to continuously explore new possibilities and integrate innovative solutions into my work. I am a perpetual learner, deeply committed to my work. Clients often describe me as highly qualified, responsive, and approachable—a problem solver who can unlock solutions for any challenge. Originally from Belarus and currently residing in Poland with a possibility to work via B2B contracts, I prefer remote work but am open to considering hybrid positions as well.
