Hello there! I'm Vyacheslav, a software engineer from Ukraine. I spend my days turning coffee into code and my nights wondering why it worked yesterday.
I love building things — from web applications and backend services to developer tools that make life just a little easier. I enjoy solving problems, optimizing performance, and turning messy ideas into clean, reliable software. The bigger the challenge, the more interesting it becomes.
I recently graduated with a Professional Junior Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering and have been constantly exploring new technologies ever since. Lately, I've been working with modern web stacks, backend development, APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, and a bit of everything that catches my curiosity.
I believe the best way to learn is to build. That's why you'll usually find me experimenting with new projects, rewriting something 'just because it can be better,' or diving into technologies I've never used before. I'm always looking for the next challenge… though sometimes it's just another excuse to open my IDE.
I follow a Kanban workflow where tasks move through clear stages — Backlog, In Progress, Review, and Done. I keep my board clean and organized, move cards with intention, and prefer shipping in small, frequent iterations. This approach helps me stay focused, reduce context switching, and deliver value consistently.
productivity
I integrate modern tools into my workflow to boost productivity and code quality. GitHub Copilot and Cursor provide powerful autocompletion and refactoring, ChatGPT helps with reviews and problem-solving, while GitHub Security tools and Dependabot keep dependencies secure and up-to-date. I also use Linear AI, Vercel tools, and other agents to streamline development.
tooling
When something doesn't work, I don't stop. I dig through docs, read source code, and find the answer. Every bug is a puzzle — I just need more time to solve it.
mindsetContributing to tools I use daily. Building things others can reuse.
communityBuilt custom software solutions for clients across multiple platforms. Developed Roblox experiences (anime games, trading economies, horror titles) serving 2000+ daily players with admin panels, vehicle systems, and anti-cheat. Created Telegram/Discord bots for moderation, automation, and community management. Delivered backend APIs and full-stack web apps tailored to client needs. Managed all aspects: requirements gathering, architecture, development, deployment, and maintenance.
Built custom Telegram and Discord bots for moderation, community management, automation, and game server integration. Focused on reliable, self-hosted solutions using Python and Node.js.
Developed backend for a simulated banking system as part of a team project. Designed and implemented REST API endpoints for accounts, transactions, transfers, and user management. Worked on business logic, data validation, error handling, and wrote comprehensive unit tests. Used Node.js / Express (or Python/FastAPI — укажи стек).
Created Nexagon, a platform for monitoring and managing game servers. Features real-time tracking, server management tools, and planned hosting integration. Served as the thesis projects for my Professional Junior Bachelor degree.
what i've built
Web-instrument made for admins to administrate and monitor game servers, with real-time metrics and alerts built in Rust, React, WebGPU and WASM.
An early Roblox sandbox game inspired by Garry's Mod. Multiple game modes (FFA, sandbox, battle), custom models, vehicles, and animations — built when I was still learning the basics.

Moving beyond static sites — adding a Node.js API layer for authentication, rate limiting, and server-side logic.
cobe looked great in demos but fell apart in production. Here is what went wrong and why three-globe was the right call.
Decided to build a portfolio site from scratch instead of using templates. Here's what went into it.
