The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

The quote above is from Lao Tzu. It's not original, okay, but it's timeless and so true

I'm a backend developer with a passion for building practical solutions. Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects — from e-commerce systems to enterprise software — learning something new at each step along the way. I enjoy working on the backend logic that makes applications run smoothly, whether it's API integrations, database optimization, or automating workflows. I'm always open to exploring new tools and approaches. Outside of coding, I love music (I play the violin), languages (I learning a few), the outdoors and photography.

Beside work, I occasionally pick up my camera to capture the world differently — whether it's an interesting texture, a fleeting street moment, or just playing with light. Some of these shots (along with music I stumble upon) end up on my Telegram channel @kipitochik. It's not much, but it's a nice break from staring at computer all day.
