Здравствуйте!

That means hello in Russian, which is how I first got into coding. I took a job to investigate disinformation targeting the Ukrainian elections and was rapidly overwhelmed. So, I looked to Python 🐍 for assistance. I now work full stack with Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Kubernetes and Terraform.

I enjoy working in cybersecurity 🖥️ since I think it's a worthwhile thing to do. Right now, we're building the infrastructure of the future and so much of it isn't safe.

I also care about inclusion within tech and like to mentor other developers.

I studied Philosophy at university, so I'm a bit of a nut for clean logical processes and this bleeds into my programming style. For instance, I love writing tests and static typing. I try to write code that is robust, easy to read, and great at handling errors.
