Hi, I’m a software developer with a strong track record in AR/XR, graphics engines, and large-scale mobile apps. Over more than a decade at Samsung R&D Kyiv I led engineering efforts, rewrote legacy applications for performance and compatibility, and helped ship features that reached millions of users across Galaxy devices. I enjoy bridging hands-on coding with leadership, architecture, and long-term product stability. Beyond core development, I volunteer as an educator and mentor through Samsung IT School, designing curricula and teaching Java/Kotlin to students, while guiding teams through CI/CD and quality processes. I’m passionate about sharing knowledge, building technical communities, and delivering impactful software products.
