About Me
I apply engineering thinking across multiple domains - from building scalable software systems, to designing and fabricating physical objects, to creating communities and advocating for change. Whether it's code, hardware, or social impact, I focus on creating robust, meaningful solutions.
💻 Backend Engineering Journey
Senior Node.js Engineer
Aug 2022 - PresentEPAM Systems
Leading backend development initiatives, architecting scalable solutions for enterprise clients, and mentoring junior developers. Focusing on building robust cloud-based systems that handle high-load scenarios with reliability and performance.
Backend Engineer
Apr 2020 - Apr 2022Vizor Interactive
Developed and maintained backend services for interactive applications. Implemented real-time communication features, optimized database queries, and improved system performance under heavy load conditions.
Full-stack Engineer
Apr 2018 - Apr 2020Automatic Solutions
Started my professional journey building full-stack applications. Gained foundational experience in both frontend and backend development, with a growing focus on server-side architecture and API design.
Technical Philosophy
Code Quality
Using SOLID principles to design understandable and scalable code. Writing systems that are maintainable, testable, and can evolve with changing requirements.
Scalable Architecture
Building systems that work stably with heavy loads. Designing for growth from day one, ensuring applications can scale horizontally and handle increasing traffic gracefully.
Cloud-Native Design
Extensive experience with AWS services, building cloud-based APIs and microservices. Leveraging managed services to focus on business logic rather than infrastructure management.
Observability
Setting up robust monitoring, logging, and alerting systems. Catching problems immediately and responding proactively to maintain system reliability and performance.
Continuous Learning
Constantly developing professional skills to apply cutting-edge solutions to real-world problems. Staying current with industry best practices and emerging technologies.
⚙️ Design & Making
3D Printing Journey
My journey into physical engineering started with curiosity about 3D printing technology. What began as experimentation evolved into a serious passion.
The ultimate challenge was building a 3D printer from scratch. This project combined mechanical engineering, electronics, and software - requiring me to understand every component and how they work together. It taught me that engineering principles apply universally, whether you're building software systems or physical machines.
What I Create
Functional Designs
Creating practical objects that solve real problems - from custom parts to household solutions.
Hardware Projects
Building and modifying physical systems, understanding mechanics, electronics, and firmware.
Design Iteration
Rapid prototyping and iterative design - testing, learning, and improving with each version.
🏳️🌈 Community & Activism
Co-founder of Prismatica
In March 2019, I co-founded Prismatica (formerly "New Regions"), a horizontal queer-feminist initiative based in Mahilow, Belarus. We became the first LGBTQ+ initiative in the regions of Belarus, working to create safe and inclusive environments through educational and cultural events.
Despite the challenges of 2020 and beyond, Prismatica continues its mission - supporting LGBTQ+ people throughout Belarus and in forced migration. We work horizontally (no hierarchies), make decisions by consensus, and take an intersectional approach to advocacy and community building.
Our mission: To strengthen the LGBTQ+ community in Belarus and forced migration, creating a safe and sustainable environment through education, advocacy, and cultural events.

Values We Stand For
Feminism
Equality
Diversity
Human Rights
Inclusivity
Horizontality
7+ Years of Grassroots Activism
Building communities requires the same engineering mindset as building software - understanding systems, anticipating needs, creating sustainable structures, and continuously iterating based on feedback. The difference is that the "users" are real people whose lives you're trying to improve.
