Seven-plus years building products that move real money — trading terminals, DAO tooling, and DeFi protocols. I ship fast and sweat the details.
My story
A journey through four startups.
Four startups, zero boring years — from building my first trading interfaces to leading engineering on a live derivatives protocol.
“
Attention to detail is what makes users happy and products robust.
2022 — Present
Lead Engineer at GammaSwap
Core team member since the hackathon days — designed the app architecture and real-time trading flows for an options and prediction-market DEX, from zero to $12M+ TVL.
2020 — 2022
Senior Engineer at Aragon
Built DAO management tooling and complex governance flows in a large monorepo while the project grew to a $570M market capitalization.
2019 — 2020
Senior Engineer at AppMaster.io
Architected complex multi-layer interfaces for a platform that generated databases, backends, and frontends — no-code before AI made it obvious.
2017 — 2019
Software Engineer at Koshelek.ru
Built a real-time trading terminal and a P2P crypto exchange flow — my first blockchain interfaces, and the start of the obsession.
Skills
The stack behind the hard things.
I cover the full path from idea to production — pixel-perfect frontends, data-intensive backends, and the on-chain layer in between. Every layer gets the same care.
4
Real-time Systems
WebSocket-driven flows that keep prices, positions, and books live.
3
Web3 & On-chain
EVM, Solana, and Cosmos integrations built on Viem, Wagmi, and Privy.
2
Backend & Data
Node.js services with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kafka doing the heavy lifting.
1
Frontend Engineering
React and TypeScript interfaces that stay fast under live market data.

AI-native Craft
AI in the loop every day — with a hard no-slop quality bar.
I fell in love with code at 13, and it never wore off. Whole days still disappear when I'm building something. Everything else — the career, the startups, the craft — grew out of that simple joy.IIfellfellininlovelovewithwithcodecodeatat13,13,andandititneverneverworeworeoff.off.WholeWholedaysdaysstillstilldisappeardisappearwhenwhenI'mI'mbuildingbuildingsomething.something.EverythingEverythingelseelse——thethecareer,career,thethestartups,startups,thethecraftcraft——grewgrewoutoutofofthatthatsimplesimplejoy.joy.
Portfolio
Proof of work, not promises.
No mockups, no concepts — production products with real users and real capital, built and scaled with teams I'm proud of.
DeFi Protocol
GammaSwap
gammaswap.com
Perpetual options and prediction-market DEX.
The protocol I've led engineering on for 3+ years — from post-hackathon prototype to $12M+ TVL.
DAO Infrastructure
Aragon
aragon.org
Infrastructure for on-chain governance and DAOs.
Two years building DAO tooling while Aragon grew to a $570M market capitalization.
No-code Platform
AppMaster
appmaster.io
No-code platform that generates real applications.
Visual editors that turned diagrams into production databases, backends, and frontends — before AI.
Crypto Fintech
Koshelek
koshelek.ru
Real-time trading terminal and P2P crypto exchange.
Where it all started — my first blockchain interfaces and a live trading terminal.
Perspective
Quality is quiet. When every number is right and every state is handled, people stop noticing the software — they just trust it. That trust is the product.QualityQualityisisquiet.quiet.WhenWheneveryeverynumbernumberisisrightrightandandeveryeverystatestateisishandled,handled,peoplepeoplestopstopnoticingnoticingthethesoftwaresoftware——theytheyjustjusttrusttrustit.it.ThatThattrusttrustisisthetheproduct.product.
