What I’m doing now

Looking for a job

Looking for a fully remote position or one with an office in Portugal. Seeking for CTO, Head of Engineering or Engineering Manager roles. Hands-on with the JS stack. Check my LinkedIn post for the details.

Moving to Portugal

My project was approved for the Portugal Startup program. I published a guide about the process. Now waiting for 23rd September to apply for the visa.

Developing Mellon

It is a local-first password manager I submitted to the startup program. I published a prototype, and write articles about how I'm building it.

Living a family life

In January, Nastya and I got married. We spend a lot of time together, travel, and love each other. In February, a pineapple green-cheeked parakeet flew to us from the street. We kept him and named Zhablik. Now we can't imagine how we lived without this sweet little pie.

Finished a comics course

My wife and I took an offline comics course. As a result, I published my first comics, RU — an adaptation of the investigation of istories.media about the connection between Telegram and the russian federal security service.

Picked up a podcasts course

I'm learning from the most famous studio of Russian-language podcasts. I was so inspired by David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs that I'm thinking of recording episodes regarding that topic.

Reading Kleppmann and Spider-man

I'm rereading that book with the boar and reading Untold Tales of Spider-Man for the first time — a huge comics series.

Previously

Learning English

In May, Alvin, my previous tutor, left to learn Python and data analysis. In June, I started studying with Ian. He sends me Jimmy Carr's shows. I send him clips with David Mitchell. Seems we've found common ground. Last time I learned that when brits tap their noses, they mean “keep this secret”.

Reading Polozkova and Graeber

Although they are trying to cancel Vera for her interview, I enjoy Lost and Found book. Meanwhile, I finally started Bullshit Jobs.
