I mainly work on node.js microservices that is using AWS technologies, such as Lambda, DynamoDB, Cognito.
I'm also contributing to a big Haskell monolith backend project and to React.js frontend projects.
Along with these I developed several internal tools, for automating and validating some internal workflows that led to at least ~70% increase in productivity on their specific related task. Mainly used Haskell and TypeScript.

Worked on the development of a CMS project as a backend developer.
- The system is used by maintainers for managing applications published to the AppGallery application market.
- The system was written in Java and consisted several microservices.
- I designed and developed new endpoints, did refactoring and bunch of improvements.
- I was also responsible for building, maintaining and improving the DevOps process.
Worked on adapting Huawei Mobile Services to third party frameworks.
- I led a newly formed team of ~ten Cordova developers and developed Cordova libraries.
- Worked closely with React-Native team and developed cross-framework libraries.
- I also automated lots of internal workflows, mostly using Bash scripts.

Developed an e-commerce website for selling courses using MongoDB, Node.js with Express.js for the backed and React.js with Next.js for the frontend and published using GCP.

Designed and developed a tool for managing/archiving/automating some aviation-related test results using Kotlin and Java. The program also lets users work on those test results collaboratively in a secured environment.

I'm a huge advocate of free software movement. I try to publish all of my works as free software. I try to contribute FOSS projects. You can see a glimpse of my contributions to other free software projects through my GitHub page.
In my free time I generally read books of philosophy. I really like the works of German idealists. I also do enjoy reading about newer philosophical thoughts like post-modernism/post-structuralism.
