Hi, I’m Maksym. I build web apps that just work.

> _

Full-stack developer from Odesa, Ukraine. I turn messy, real-world requirements into clean, fast, and reliable software — from the database schema all the way to the last pixel of the interface.

01 — About me

An engineer who fell in love with the web.

I’m a full-stack web developer who likes the whole picture — shaping the data model, designing a clean API, and crafting an interface that feels effortless to use. Code is only finished when it’s readable, tested, and a pleasure for the next person to work with.

My path here wasn’t the usual one. Before the web, I spent years in industrial automation — programming PLCs and keeping production lines running where a bug means a stopped factory, not a red test. That engineering discipline is my superpower today: I sweat reliability, edge cases, and performance, then I ship.

These days I build and maintain production web applications with Ruby on Rails and React, and I’m always chasing the next thing to learn.

02 — What I do

From idea to production.

Full ownership of the stack means fewer hand-offs, fewer surprises, and a product that hangs together. Here’s how I can help.

Full-Stack Development

End-to-end ownership — from database design and business logic to responsive, accessible interfaces built with Rails & React.

API Design & Integration

Clean, well-documented JSON:API and REST endpoints that scale and play nicely with any client or third-party service.

AI-Augmented Development

AI is part of how I work every day — pair-programming, research, and automation — and part of what I ship: assistants, smart search, and LLM-powered features woven deep into the product.

UX & Interaction Design

Interfaces that feel effortless — clear user flows, accessible by default, and the small motions and micro-interactions that make a product feel alive.

Performance & Optimization

Fast queries, smart caching, and lean front-ends. I treat speed as a feature, not an afterthought.

Quality & Testing

A QA mindset baked in: automated tests, thoughtful code reviews, and debugging that gets to the real root cause.
