My work covers full-stack web development, native Android and iOS applications, shared Rust systems, Supabase/PostgreSQL and cloud deployment. I am currently building Metopus through Metopida LTD, including AI-assisted artist workflows.

My background in music, teaching and digital content gives the product its domain context. My current focus is software delivery.
