0.1About

One engineer.
The whole picture.

I'm Alexey, and this is my independent engineering practice. Some of the world's largest entertainment, sportswear, and health brands have trusted it with their products — and so have startups betting everything on one system.

I work two ways: embedded in a client's team, moving at their standards, or leading a project outright — architecture, decisions, delivery — from first conversation to production. Either way, the common thread isn't a framework. It's trust with consequences: platforms serving global audiences, financial and legal records that must survive migrations, live phone systems that can't misroute a customer, launches with a date attached.

Away from the keyboard: I spent years traveling with my family searching for work-life balance and found it in Brazil. I've written about how surfing and engineering train the same muscles.

05

Consumer health & hardware — Superpower, ChargeBot

Polished products for ambitious startups

I built a previous iteration of superpower.com — a 3D-heavy, animation-rich marketing site for a health platform — and the mobile app for ChargeBot, connected charging hardware that landscaping fleets monitor from their pocket. Different ends of the product spectrum; the same standard of finish.

Other work includes payments modernization, AI/RAG applications, and early-stage products. We can discuss the engineering approaches and the scope relevant to your business while respecting client confidentiality.

0.3How I work

What working with
me looks like.

Start with a focused review.

For a workflow or platform that is holding you back, we map the current system, identify the constraints, and agree on a practical next step. You get a prioritized plan with scope, risks, and an implementation estimate.

Build a defined improvement.

A customer portal, connected CRM and phone system, platform migration, or new product feature. We agree on what success means, then I lead implementation, testing, and a staged release with clear progress updates.

Keep an experienced engineer close.

For teams that need continuing technical ownership, I can work alongside you on architecture, delivery, mentoring, and production support. We agree on capacity and priorities so you know what is covered.
