About

Junior Software Developer | Oct 2025 - Present | Qasttor

At Qasttor, I focus on designing and developing internal systems with an emphasis on backend automation and full-stack solutions. My role involves bridging the gap between low-code platforms and custom development to build scalable, efficient architectures.

I specialize in building event-driven workflows, developing robust API endpoints, and implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to support AI-driven processes. By leveraging Google Cloud Platform (GCP), I extend system capabilities through serverless services (Cloud Run) developed in TypeScript, enabling complex integrations and asynchronous workflows.

I have successfully integrated various AI technologies, including Google Gemini, into production environments and automated business processes across platforms like HubSpot, Nifty, Slack, and Google services. Additionally, I contributed to migrating the company's web presence from no-code solutions to a structured, scalable Next.js architecture.

Key Achievements:

• Developed and deployed serverless TypeScript services on GCP Cloud Run to handle complex backend logic beyond low-code limitations.
• Implemented MCP server architectures to enable advanced AI-agent capabilities and internal tool automation.
• Automated cross-platform workflows (CRM, Project Management, Communication) reducing manual reporting and increasing team visibility.
• Lead the transition of the company website to a modern Next.js/React stack, improving performance and maintainability.

React Developer | Aug 2024 - Nov 2024 | StarNavi

As a React Developer at StarNavi, I worked on a SaaS web application with a Markdown-based content editor, user dashboards, and SEO-friendly public-facing pages. My main tasks included building new features, improving existing ones, and maintaining clean, well-structured code by following team coding standards like KISS, DRY, and SOLID.

On the public-facing side, I created responsive and SEO-optimized pages using Astro, Tailwind CSS, and React, with support for server-side rendering and dynamic metadata. In the dashboard, I used TypeScript, React, Next.js, Chakra UI, and TanStack Query to build and integrate new components, manage application state, and connect with backend APIs.

Throughout the project, I focused on writing reusable and scalable components, following React best practices such as custom hooks, compound components, and higher-order components to keep the codebase modular and easy to maintain.

Key Achievements:

• Developed SEO-optimized public pages using Next.js and Astro, implementing server-side rendering, dynamic metadata generation, and structured data markup.
• Created a standalone project boilerplate by abstracting and modularizing core logic from the main SaaS codebase, enabling faster onboarding.
• Built a dashboard widget displaying dynamic user-specific data, integrated with TanStack Query for state synchronization and caching.

Full-Stack Developer | 2023 - 2024

Completed an intensive Full-Stack Development program at IT School GoIT, covering front-end and back-end technologies.

Master's in Navigation of Seagoing Ships | 2015 - 2021

Graduated from National University "Odesa Maritime Academy", specializing in navigation and vessel operations.

My professional journey is a unique blend of discipline, global experience, and a relentless passion for technology. Before transitioning into software engineering, I spent five years as a Navigation Officer in the maritime industry. Managing vessel operations, logistics, and safety in high-responsibility, multicultural environments shaped my analytical thinking and structured approach to problem-solving.

Transition to Software Development

Driven by a long-standing interest in tech, I successfully pivoted to full-stack development. I completed an intensive program at GOIT, mastering JavaScript, React, and Node.js, and quickly transitioned into a professional role at StarNavi. There, I contributed to SaaS applications using modern tools like Next.js, Astro, and TypeScript, gaining hands-on experience in building scalable user interfaces within agile teams.

Specialization in Backend & AI

I am a lifelong learner committed to technical excellence. While I continue to build high-performance, accessible front-end applications using Next.js and TypeScript, I have significantly expanded my capabilities into the backend and AI domains. I recently completed the professional Microsoft Back-End Developer track, mastering C# and .NET to build robust, enterprise-grade architectures.

Currently, I am at the forefront of the AI revolution, actively developing expertise in Agentic AI and Model Context Protocol (MCP). I specialize in creating custom MCP servers and implementing practical agentic workflows that bridge the gap between LLMs and real-world software applications, ensuring a truly comprehensive full-stack approach to modern development.

Languages & Cultural Adaptability

Beyond technical skills, I thrive in international environments. I hold a C2-level EF SET certificate in English and have successfully passed the Polish Government Exam at the B2 level. My background as a maritime officer, combined with my language proficiency, allows me to communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across diverse global teams.

Looking Ahead

With a background that combines maritime discipline with modern software engineering and AI-driven automation, I bring a unique perspective to every project. I am eager to tackle complex challenges and contribute to innovative teams where technical excellence, structured problem-solving, and cutting-edge AI implementations are valued.
