About myself

Started software engineering career with low-level system programming mostly on the start of the era of modern computers, my interest involved from programming calculators, drivers and simple games (Using ASM, C/C++) to developing complex enterprise-level cloud-based solutions (Java, .NET, Go, Containers). Now, with help of modern technologies, solutions and concepts, I am not just trying to bring any, even most courageous ideas into life, but also spread the light of all brilliant technology solutions I can find to all other developers.

Now focused on a combination of Web technologies (Angular, Dart, React) and Cloud Technologies (Google Cloud Platform, Amazon EC2, Azure).

Being a Google Developer Expert (Cloud and Web) I loved to participate in different conferences, give talks and organize workshops and hackathons. I am using my speaker's skills to encourage developers to try new approaches, to see a global picture of software development. In my talks, I am using animated HTML5 presentations to get more attention form auditory and make the material much more clear and visualized.

I've started my public speaking expirience at 2008 and until now participated as a speaker in dozens of conferences including JEEConf, UAWeb, Google DevFest, BuildStuff and help to organize some of them.
