🔗 Systems interaction & integration

I’m a mobile developer, mainly focused on iOS and Kotlin Multiplatform, but I always like to look wider: backend, web, and infrastructure — everything that helps me understand how the whole system works.

I started programming back in 2013. At first, it was just curiosity — I wanted to understand how software works under the hood. Over time, it turned into a profession, but that desire to dig deeper stayed with me.

I graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics at Novosibirsk State University, where I did research and wrote my thesis on developing tools for teaching parallel programming.

I’m drawn to engineering thinking — structured and deliberate, but with attention to detail and a sense of product.
I regularly take part in professional events — meetups, conferences, and discussions.
I like keeping up with how technology evolves, seeing how other teams solve similar problems, and simply talking with people who care about what they build.

Outside of work, I’m all about music and people.
I play the guitar and sometimes write short texts or poems — just to capture a mood or a thought.
Sometimes it turns into a song, sometimes into an idea, and sometimes it just stays as a memory worth keeping.

Professionally

I’m interested in understanding systems as a whole — how different layers of technology affect each other and the final product.
In my work, I try to combine technical depth with practical thinking — solving problems not for the sake of complexity, but for stability, clarity, and product growth.

I often deal with questions of architecture, integrations, and cross-platform interaction.
I enjoy finding areas where things can be made simpler, faster, or more reliable — whether it’s code, a build process, or an API layer.

Since 2021, I’ve been working professionally in the industry.
I’ve had experience at IceRock, UseTech / Leroy Merlin, and now at Yandex.Maps.
