Software developer in Berlin
I like simple software. I’m lazy about repetitive work, and persistent about making it go away.
I put university admin in my terminal, built my family’s clinic website, and made an art gallery people can submit their work to. Usually, a project starts with something I want to make less annoying.
I work across mobile, web, and backend at Aether and study software engineering at CODE. Outside that: a student cubesat, philosophy courses, and writing that isn’t always about software.
A little more about meUniversity admin in my terminal: courses, study progress, and bookings. Works with coding agents, too.
Python, no third-party packages
Booking changes get a preview, an explicit confirmation, and a fresh state check before the request is sent once. An uncertain outcome stops the flow instead of retrying a possible duplicate.
Testing AI-generated interfaces for missing data, accessibility issues, and broken layouts. I used it to evaluate six models.
The deterministic checks can fail CI. The LLM judge is advisory by default: a subjective score should prompt a closer look before it blocks a build.
The website for my family’s dental clinic in Ternopil, Ukraine. Ukrainian and English versions, with appointment requests.
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
An international student art exhibition I help organize. I built the website for artist submissions, private review, and the public gallery.
React and Supabase
Week Tally tracks weekly hour targets inside my calendar. Video Bouncer puts a click-to-reveal step in front of X videos. Small changes to the things I use every day.
This semester, I’m learning C++ and working on flight software for a student cubesat. The hardware just arrived.
I’m also thinking about memory and identity, and getting my college writing out of folders and onto this site.
Less typing, more checking: how I give agents useful tasks, review their changes, and decide when to stop.
Revisiting Her: the difference between keeping a record and remembering a life.
A reflection on ballroom dancing, practice, and the support that makes effort possible.
There’s fiction too: a lamp and a teddy bear, and some visitors with good intentions.
All writing
I turned my GitHub contributions into a skyline. Each building is a week; each lit window is a contribution. This is a September 2026 snapshot. The original on GitHub rebuilds nightly from Postgres.
