Hi, I’m Dmitry, a WordPress developer and web systems builder.
Over the years, I’ve learned that the best websites are not just visually appealing — they work like well-designed systems. Fast, stable, measurable, and built to support real business goals.
My focus is simple: build websites that are reliable today and easy to grow tomorrow.
My approach
Plan first, then build.
Before writing code, I look at the bigger picture — performance, maintainability, integrations, and how the website will support your workflow. This helps avoid technical debt and reduces problems later.
Automation and integrations are part of that process when they improve efficiency. For example: connecting WordPress with tools like Stripe, CRM systems, analytics, or automating repetitive processes that normally require manual work.
Clean code, clear communication, and predictable results.
Design + Build
If you already have a Figma design, I can translate it into a fully responsive WordPress website with accurate spacing, typography, and behavior across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Best fit
The best projects are with clients who want more than just a quick fix.
If you value thoughtful development, reliable architecture, and someone who looks ahead to prevent problems, we’ll work well together.

Working in the start-up and technology space for over 30 years, I have a history of successfully leading software development, AI-powered product launches, and technical strategy initiatives. As a technical executive, I work closely with domain experts, engineers, and stakeholders to drive product vision; as an engineer, I contribute hands-on across the full stack.
From a technical standpoint, I work across Node.js, TypeScript, Python, PHP, Bash, Go, and Rust, with experience in cloud-native architectures on AWS, GCP, and Digital Ocean. I build and deploy with Docker, Terraform, and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, and I maintain a self-hosted private infrastructure lab supporting local AI model serving, automated testing, and development workflows. My database experience spans PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Qdrant (vector DB), and more.
My extensive AI experience includes context engineering, RAG pipelines (embeddings, vector search, reranking), and agentic coding workflows. I work with LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Cerebras, Groq, and DeepSeek, and I build with tools like vLLM, Ollama, LangChain, and PyTorch. I've developed custom MCP servers, AI-assisted development toolchains for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Qwen Code, and I maintain an active open-source portfolio including llm-interface (120+ GitHub stars). Recent project work includes a production Rust API for brand voice alignment through stylometric analysis — a ground-up rewrite from Python with ML-based content safety and optional CUDA GPU acceleration.
I have a diverse management background, leading teams of various sizes and configurations — on-site, remote, nearshore, and offshore — with Agile and SCRUM methodologies (Certified Scrum Master).
Notable accomplishments include:
- Co-founded two public companies achieving peak valuations of $600M and $73M
- Built data acquisition pipelines including proxy-based web scrapers and reverse-engineered proprietary validation schemas, improving extraction accuracy from 9% to 81% for a major utility client
- Founded and ran a technology consultancy for 8 years, delivering enterprise CMS software, a contextual advertising network, and services including SEO, security audits, and custom development
- Led and mentored teams ranging from 5 to 24 members across multiple companies, from early-stage startups to growth-stage ventures
- Established TDD practices with automated CI/CD across all active projects, backed by dedicated self-hosted infrastructure
I am confident I can hit the ground running and immediately become a valuable asset to your project. My experience as both a technical leader and a hands-on contributor means I can operate at whatever level your engagement requires — from architecture and strategy down to shipping code.
