If you are here for this — I am not looking for a job, but thank you for your interest.
I am madly, with all my heart and soul, in love with technology, experimenting with new things, my fiancée, and cats. I also love creating stable autonomous structures that are good at doing their jobs: built from people and from code. That's why I bounce between engineering and business.
Lately I have been doing a lot of AI (God, it's 2025 — who isn't?). The main topics for me: AI agents that write code, and AI that helps people write code — aka AI IDE / AI SWE.

Software Engineering

I have been programming for more than 16 years, and over this time went from mobile apps for the Android Market (yes, before Google Play) in Java to React frontends with 20M MAU. From x86 bootloaders in FASM to smart contracts in Solidity. From optimizing GLSL shaders to cryptographic protocols.
I am happy to discuss technology and share experience.

Business

I have launched 7 companies and made 2 small exits. Three were venture-backed and four were bootstrapped. I have become a bit skeptical about venture and decided to focus on business models with the fastest path to operating profitability. I am currently building a company with products that accelerate development using AI. It is already profitable and growing steadily, but PMF is not there yet.
