The person you'll be working with

Oleksandr Barskyi

Engineer based in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Eight years of production software: websites, storefronts, mobile apps, backends and hardware that reports from the field.

Summary

What I actually do

Independent engineer with production experience across web, mobile, backend, embedded, analytics and data-heavy systems since 2018.

Day to day that means client websites and storefronts, application interfaces, APIs and integrations, dashboards, authentication and subscription flows, and the maintenance that keeps all of it running afterwards.

Work is delivered end to end: design, build, launch and support, with an AI-assisted pipeline handling repetition and monitoring, and specialists brought in when a project needs them.

Working style

  • One person accountable from the first call to the site being live.
  • Comfortable with production launches, migrations and the maintenance afterwards.
  • Specialists and an AI-assisted pipeline join where they make the work faster, never where they make it vaguer.
