Career Journey

From early web development with FrontPage 97 to founding my own venture called DigitalFairytales, I've accumulated 14 years of experience guided by principles of quality and user-centered design.

In 2015, I relocated to the UK to expand my professional horizons, transitioning from independent contracting to collaborative corporate environments. I've contributed to numerous open-source projects and enterprise applications.

Comprehensive Mentorship

For over six years, I have mentored across the full spectrum of development experience. My approach adapts to each level—guiding beginners through foundational concepts and career transitions, helping juniors refine their technical skills and best practices, and leading development teams in my roles as Senior and Lead Developer to elevate collective capabilities and enhance collaboration.

Technical Expertise

TypeScript is my primary language of expertise—offering precision, maintainability, and reliability. I work comfortably across the full stack development spectrum.

I adapt quickly to technical challenges, whether implementing frontend solutions with React and Next.js or developing backend systems with Python and Django—always maintaining clean code practices.

DevOps & Automation

I believe in efficiency through automation. I develop tools that reduce repetitive tasks and enhance workflow productivity—including custom CLI utilities and containerization solutions that streamline deployment and development environments across teams.
