01 / About

Senior generalist. Modern stack. Ships.

I architect and build production web platforms end-to-end — from PHP backends and React frontends to semantic search, AI-integrated tooling, mobile apps, and DevOps pipelines.

Past clients include Burda Media (largest media holding in Ukraine, 6 business units), Marie Claire, Liza.ua, and LEGO Ukraine. Today I run DevMotion Studio from Cartagena, Spain — partnering with teams who need senior engineering, not handoffs.

Recent work spans Next.js 16 + Symfony 7 SaaS products, FastAPI services with multilingual-e5 embeddings + Elasticsearch for semantic search, Drupal 11 publishing platforms with custom AI parsers (Claude / OpenAI / Google AI / OpenRouter), Shopify App Store apps, and a React Native / Expo mobile companion to a multilingual travel platform.

Five Drupal generations under my belt (7 → 11), two contributed releases on drupal.org, and AI-integrated development as a daily practice since 2024.
