Dev Me

I stumbled into the development world after studying and lecturing film. My innovative and problem-solving personality adapted instinctively to programming. I believe solutions of any nature should be simple, yet elegant. Work ethic and values are extremely important to me. I enjoy solving complex problems and learning new technologies.


My current focus is a newly found business Aeonic (2025). I am also the founder of previously owned company - ProFormal (2019).
