Currently, TypeScript is my golden hammer for both frontend and backend. At work, I use React but VueJS is the frontend framework of my choice for home projects. This website, for example, is made with NuxtJS and deployed and hosted with Netlify.

I've got some experience with AWS and enjoy designing solutions with their serverless offering. In the meantime, I keep an eye GCP and other smaller players.

Talking here about git, linters, transpilers, containers, shell scripting, testing and automation frameworks. I use these tools, try to understand their philosophy and best practices, also sometimes extend them for my needs. For example, I wrote custom ESLint rules, Babel plugins, pushed bug-fixes to Jest.
npm run release is all it takes to deploy this website to prod. Continuosly working on my shell-fu.

I find it very appealing how easy it is to get my work to be used by people when it comes to small screen apps. I've made multiple mobile apps (though, on an already dead Windows Phone platform) and an app for a Fitbit smartwatch. Always looking forward to my next mobile app pet‑project!

Who doesn't like that? I never miss a chance to visit new places but there is still so much to see!

For me, that's primarily a way to disconnect and recharge, keep body in shape. While working out, I listen to podcasts and try to do it outside as much as possible.

Jag tycker om Sverige och att lära sig språket är en av de viktigaste sakerna för mig. Jag försöker att uttmana mig och prata svenska båda på jobbet och på gatan, läsa böcker och lyssna på podder samt radio. Prata gärna svenska med mig om du kan!

One of my most recent hobbies! I'm very much interested not only in the racing itself, but also the tech and strategies behind it.

Ukrainian football clubs are not doing particulary well, so I mostly follow the national team. From time to time I try to play, but I'm a really bad player. This does not prevent me from enjoying the game (hoping my teammates either).
I've been volunteering at EURO 2012 and it was amazing seeing from the inside how such a huge event is organized.

Airplanes and commercial aviation are my secret (not any more) passion. I find it incredible how we manage to get these tons of metal fly in a safe way. Space exploration is even more fascinating from engineering point of view. I truly admire all the fantastic efforts NASA and SpaceX do, follow their achievements through books, articles and podcasts.

Only starting with this but people seem to appreciate what I bake! It's my baby step into the world of more sophisticated cooking. I can bake grated pie and syrnyky.
