Who I Am

About Me

Professional Summary

I build custom systems for service businesses. Booking and scheduling, operations automation, and AI put inside processes that already run. Every project starts with what the business is losing today, not with a feature list.

Delivered across healthcare, retail, sports, education and fintech, always as code the client owns.

Location
Mykolaiv, Ukraine
Experience
8+ Years
Education
B.Sc. Software Eng.
Availability
Remote / Worldwide

Booking & Scheduling

Five systems for salons, clinics, sports venues and installation services. The problem is never the calendar.

Operations Automation

Work that repeats every day becomes a system nobody on the team has to think about again.

AI Where Work Happens

Document extraction, support automation, anomaly detection on live data. Not a chatbot on a homepage.

Code You Own

No platform fee that grows with your customer list. No ceiling you find out about in month eight.

Payments & Billing

Stripe, Mercado Pago and PayPal wired into billing that runs without anyone watching it.

Every one of these started as a business losing time or money somewhere specific. The technology was the answer, not the point.

Most first-pass editing is mechanical work billed by the hour. The platform handles that pass, so editors only touch what needs judgment.

A pet store chain could not see stock across its branches, so every location over-ordered. The POS keeps selling when the connection drops.

Web3 & DeFi

Blockchain & Web3

Stablecoins, tokens and exchanges. Money moves through these systems, so the security model gets decided before the first line of code.

Vetra (VTR) Stablecoin

Polygon PoS + Chainlink

A stablecoin is only trusted if anyone can check the reserves at any moment. Chainlink Functions verifies them in real time.

ERC-20 Token Deployments

Multiple Clients

Tokens carrying real value need clear permissions and a stop button before launch, not after the first incident.

DexSpeed DEX on Solana

SPL Token Exchange

Traders abandon an exchange that lags. Sub-second execution is what keeps volume on the book.

Security-First Approach

1
Role-Based Access Control. Granular permissions for every contract function.
2
Pausable Contracts. Emergency stop mechanism on all deployed contracts.
3
Proof of Reserves. Real-time verification via Chainlink Functions.
4
Full Audit Trail. On-chain events for complete transparency.
5
Reentrancy Guards. OpenZeppelin standards with custom checks.

Whisper (OpenAI)

Voice messages turned into text the system can act on, so support stops being a listening job.

AI-First Development

AI belongs where the work already happens, not bolted on at the end. I decide that on day one, with the client, before anything is built.
