I am a Security Engineer at a major fintech company. I've been passionate about coding and hacking since early 2000s. I can code in dozens of programming languages, but Rust has earned a special place in my heart and become my go-to language. I am also partial to Zig and Bun. I use Zed as my code editor and terminal (though I am excited about Lapce). I love writing exploits. My areas of expertise include network programming (zero-copy async IO), distributed high load systems, SNA. I love to experiment and find new ways to improve.
I was born in Moscow, Russia in 1990. Since early 2022 I've been living on the coast of Southern Vietnam. My beloved father was a theoretical physicist and book writer. My grandfather was a mathematician and educator.
My hobbies are travelling, motorcycling, learning languages and translating stuff.
