About
Beyond the stack
I'm a Russian-Lebanese engineer who has spent ten years building products end to end, from a university exam-analysis system in North Cyprus to a multi-tenant sustainability platform for a US company. Along the way I've been an IC, a tech lead running a team of fifteen, and head of a web development program that trained developers across three Lebanese cities.
The thread through all of it is marketplaces and platforms with real-world impact: agriculture sourcing, legal services, public programs, education, food delivery. I like domains where software meets messy offline processes. That's where good engineering judgment matters most.
Before industry, I was a researcher: I built the first virtual-reality project in North Cyprus (a VR gamification system supporting anxiety treatment), published on VR perception in education, and was a TÜBİTAK finalist. I speak five languages, have lived and worked in six countries, and mentor developers whenever I get the chance.
