Ahoj

I am a software engineer who works primarily (as of 07.01.2026) with React Native

I am absolutely not limited by JavaScript and React-ish environment, so I work/deal/have fun with lots of stuff

Some of my social stuff

• Medium - writing articles about different programming-related stuff
• Itch - making videogames with GameMaker (not anymore) and Godot (currently)
• Twitch - I sometimes stream how I make videogames so you might have a chance of catching me actually doing it
• Twitter - posting my game development progress here
• Discord - my personal discord server

And I also participated in a Russian-wide conference as a speaker, you can check out my speech here:

A bunch of my personal projects

• react-native-rich-text-input - NPM library that provides you with a component that tries to copy Telegram's text input with rich text abilities (not maintained anymore)
• react-native-photo-compressor - NPM library that allows you to compress photos with ease (not maintained anymore)

Couple of my favourite articles (written by me of course)

• How to convert and upload videos in React Native - most viewed/read article
• Obj-C Turbo Module vs C++ Turbo Module vs Flutter Platform Channel - personally my favourite article
