Hi, I'm Dima
Full-Stack Engineer with 8 years of turning "can we build this?" into "shipped last Tuesday." I thrive at the intersection of clean code, fast products, and teams that actually enjoy what they're building.

A bit about me
I'm a Full-Stack Engineer with 8 years of experience — mostly living in the React & TypeScript world, but comfortable wherever the problem takes me. I care deeply about code that actually works, ships on time, and doesn't make the next developer cry.
Day-to-day, I lead teams, untangle gnarly problems, and turn vague requirements into something everyone can build toward. I'm the kind of engineer who'd rather spend an hour documenting a decision than spend a week undoing it.
When I'm not shipping features, I'm probably tinkering with side projects, obsessing over performance numbers, or trying to convince teammates that tests are actually fun (results vary).
