About
I'm not that guy who telling stories well, or even about, and to diminish your time expenses reviewing things about myself: — yes, I'm a developer, already built and launched a bunch of projects. I've started building with Lisp and Turbo C, and today I'm leading a small team in Kiev.
I've started my developer career in the middle of 1993 - from old-school languages such as Lisp, Basic, Pascal, and late 1995 Asm and C++. Somewhere between 1997 and 1998 I've been involved into the distributed network computing development, against md4 and md5, so we've built something pretty close to a bitcoin and mining processes. Late 1998 I've discovered that internet is the future and started create projects built on Perl and PHP after. Since 2000 I've started working with huge parts built with Javascript.
In 2003 began studying a design, I've always been interested in well-designed architectures and environments, not only from the point of the developer but also from essential. That was my start point to the Wonderfull world of the user interfaces and user experience. That was a long period when I've studied and worked in this both directions mixing my developer skills.
In 2008 rewrote hosting platform from Perl to Python for hosting platform, one of the requirements was passed PCI-DSS compliance which has been reached with decentralized key-storage between multiple nodes, actually that was my second dApp.
In 20011 Ruby was a hobby, so I've built several projects and Redmine modules with it, and at the endof 2013 I've realized that pretty much things based on RoR has been passed.
Late 2017 launched react-native client for my LSTN to the App Store, got more than 1k downloads for the first day.
If the advancement of the general art of programming requires the continuing invention and elaboration of paradigms, advancement of the art of the individual programmer requires that he expand his repertory of paradigms. — Robert Floyd
