Hello! I'm an AI engineer, full-stack iOS/Android/PHP/JavaScript/TypeScript/React/React Native developer and problem solver with more than 17 years of experience. Specializing in MERN and LAMP stacks, artificial intelligence (AI) and AI agents. I embrace modern AI-powered development workflows using tools like ๐ค Claude Code, ๐ง Cursor, ๐ Windsurf IDEs and ๐ Codex.
What I do: ๐ฑ Mobile apps, ๐ฅ๏ธ Desktop apps, ๐ Websites, โ๏ธ Web services, ๐จ๐ปโ๐ป Admin Backends, ๐งฉ API for them, ๐ค AI agents and ChatGPT/Claude integrations.
๐ My own products: I don't only build for clients โ I ship my own apps end to end, alone, from idea to the App Store, and keep them running. ๐ฐ๏ธ Insight Countdown is a countdown app for iPhone, iPad and Mac: SwiftUI, SwiftData, private iCloud sync, widgets, and an alarm that rings through silent mode and Focus. ๐ถ WiFi QR Studio prints WiFi QR cards at exact DPI. Both have multilingual marketing sites in Astro and Tailwind. So when I estimate your project, I'm estimating work I've done for myself โ store review, crash reports, support and updates included.
๐ค AI agents: I've shipped an AI agent handling inbound marketplace leads for live paying customers. It acts on an external event with nobody pressing anything, takes real actions in the world (replies to a person in chat, sends SMS, starts a phone call), follows up hours and days later, keeps conversation state and changes its own later behaviour from what it reads. What separates that from a demo is predictability, and that's where the engineering goes: making bad output structurally impossible to send rather than asking the model nicely, idempotent delivery so a retry can't message someone eleven times, and switches that fail toward the safe side.
Kinds of software I've created: ๐๏ธ Shopping & online stores, ๐ Sports, ๐ฎ Games, ๐ง Medicine & well-being, โ๏ธ Travel, ๐ฐ Bank systems, ๐ฃ Ad networks, ๐ก๏ธ Insurance, ๐ฌ Landings.
I have strong skills in the following programming languages: ๐ TypeScript, โ JavaScript, ๐ฆ Swift, ๐ฏ Objective-C, ๐ PHP, ๐ฑ Kotlin, โ Java.
Frameworks and technologies: ๐ฆ Deno & Node, โ๏ธ React, โ๏ธ React Native, ๐ค ChatGPT API, ๐ฎ Anthropic AI API, ๐ Google Gemini API, ๐ ฐ Astro, โก๏ธ Vite, ๐ป Zustand, โ๏ธ Electron, ๐ Redux, ๐ Redux Toolkit, ๐ Nest js, ๐ ฝ Next js, ๐ Vue, ๐ Fastify, ๐ฅค Fresh, ๐ ฐ Apollo GraphQL Client and Server, ๐ Relay, ๐ ผ MobX, ๐ณ Koa, ๐ ด Express js, ๐ GraphQL, ๐ Swagger, ๐จ Tailwind, ๐ฆ SwiftUI, ๐พ SwiftData, โ๏ธ CloudKit, โฐ AlarmKit, ๐งฉ WidgetKit, ๐ฅ Lottie Files, ๐ฅค Cocoa Touch, ๐ฅฅ Cocos2D, ๐ ป Laravel, ๐ต Symfony, ๐ YII and YII2, ๐ฅ CodeIgnitor, ๐ Zend Framework, ๐ CoreLocation, ๐ฅ CoreAnimation, ๐ Apple HomeKit, โค๏ธ Apple HealthKit, ๐ฐ Superwall, ๐ณ Stripe, โ๏ธ Twilio.
Databases: ๐ Mongo, ๐ฌ MySQL, ๐ชถ SQLite, ๐ Watermelon DB, โก๏ธ Supabase, ๐ฅ Firebase, ๐ Postgres, ๐ TypeORM, โก๏ธ Doctrine, โช DynamoDB/PartiQL, ๐ด Oracle, ๐ ฒ CoreData, ๐ฃ Realm. I design the schemas too โ relational and NoSQL, with indexing and query performance in mind.
Cloud Computing: ๐บ AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, EventBridge, S3, CloudFront, EC2), ๐ฅ๏ธ Google Cloud Platform, ๐ณ Docker, โธ๏ธ Kubernetes, โธ๏ธ Google Kubernetes Engine, ๐ DigitalOcean, ๐ ท Heroku, ๐ Render, โ๏ธ Netlify, โฒ Vercel, ๐ Cloudflare, ๐ ฐ Microsoft Azure. Serverless and edge functions, plus deployment and hosting on about half my projects.
I have developed over 20 iOS apps, 15 React Native apps, several Android apps, APIs for some of them, over 20 websites, and shipped my own products to the App Store.
I'm proficient in problem-solving, with a solid track record of fixing complex problems teams had struggled with on their own โ usually performance issues or hard-to-track bugs.
How I work: โก I reply fast and I'm easy to reach โ quick responses are what clients mention most. ๐ Based in Europe: in sync with European clients, day shifted later for US ones, and I've worked across Asian time zones too. ๐ฏ I work autonomously: give me the goal and I'll plan it, ask what actually matters, and keep you posted. ๐ก I don't just execute tickets โ I treat your project as my own and tell you when I see a better way. ๐งต I've worked in around 15 teams, and can also deliver an app, API or server entirely on my own, turnkey.
Languages: ๐ฌ๐ง English C1, ๐ท๐บ Russian and ๐ง๐พ Belarusian native, ๐ต๐ฑ Polish B1.
I like to explore new technologies and build software of any complexity. I follow best practices, test thoroughly, and write clean, readable code any other developer can maintain.

I help businesses modernize and scale PHP applications โ especially legacy systems that became difficult to maintain, extend, or integrate.
Over the last 10+ years, Iโve worked on backend systems in e-learning and telemetry domains, including projects involving:
legacy PHP modernization
monolith-to-microservices migration
API integrations
scalable backend architecture
background job processing
high-load data processing systems
My core stack includes:
PHP (Symfony, Laravel, Zend, Kohana, Codeigniter)
REST APIs
RabbitMQ
MySQL
AWS
Docker / CI/CD workflows
I also have commercial experience with Java/Spring Boot for backend services and distributed systems.
What clients usually appreciate about working with me:
ability to work with existing/legacy codebases
clean and maintainable solutions
strong debugging and problem-solving skills
clear communication
practical engineering approach without overengineering
Iโm comfortable working independently and can quickly dive into existing systems, fix bottlenecks, implement new functionality, or help gradually modernize legacy applications.

Hi,
I've been developing web applications for more than 9 years, starting back in 2013 with custom PHP/MySQL, no framework project, switching my focus onto ZF1 in 2013-2014 and now focusing on frameworks like Laravel and symfony. I've had a chance to work with the following PHP frameworks:
โ symfony (2.x-6.x)
โ Laravel (4-10)
โ microframeworks like Slim, Lumen
I'm using the following standards/recommendations/technologies in my daily work:
โ SOLID principles
โ PSR recommendations
โ TDD - always trying to reach 100% coverage of my code
โ RESTful, GraphQL APIs
I'm used to working in agile environment, combining Kanban and SCRUM aspects in the development process. Recently I realised a good developer has to focus on the client's business goals and better communication. These skills are much harder to master than learning a new framework.
As for the tech stack, here are some of the technologies I've mastered so far:
โ AWS (EC2 with autoscaling, RDS, S3, SES, SQS, SNS, Route53, CloudFront, Lambda etc)
โ PHP 5.x, 7.x, 8.x
โ RFC 2616, knowing HTTP protocol inside-out
โ composer
Here is the tools I'm using in my local setup:
โ Ubuntu LTS
โ PHPStorm
โ git
โ slะฐck and Skypะต for communication
โ docker, docker-compose
I've been working on long term projects and would like to continue doing so.
Let's start with a free trial task - no cost and no obligations. We'll get to know each other and I can convince you in my skills. Let's have a skypะต call discussing your project and me completing a free test task to show my skills!
