About me

I'm a senior full-stack developer with 10+ years of professional experience, focused on the backend: web applications, REST APIs and background services in PHP, Node.js and Python, paired with clean and simple Bootstrap frontends. I am also comfortable managing Linux servers and Docker containers. I focus on readable code and universal solutions instead of quick MacGyvering, so I can be proud of every commit.

I love automating things: from data processing and Telegram bots to home automation in Home Assistant and my own hardware projects with Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi Pico and ESP microcontrollers. Many of my side projects are open source on my GitHub.

Away from the keyboard, I play the location-based games Ingress and Geocaching, and I enjoy escape rooms, ciphers and puzzle competitions, especially ones combined with driving.
