In The Light
A progressive metal project I play guitar in. Nu metal bounce, djent precision, metalcore energy. The debut album ITL is streaming on every major platform.

Elsewhere
A small collection of things outside the main work. Music, a book I am finishing, the mentoring I do on h.careers, and older essays on Medium. These are not hobbies listed for personality points — they are the reasons I still think clearly after sixteen years in a field that tends to compress people.
Отидо: Путь IT. От джуниора к мидлу
A practical guide to career growth in IT — from junior to mid-level — written in Russian, drawn from over a decade of my own experience and from mentoring and managing engineers at different stages of their careers. An English edition is planned.
Mentoring on h.careers
I have mentored engineers, leads, and managers on h.careers since 2023. Hundreds of hours of sessions covering career planning, interview preparation, team design, and leadership development.

Currently the canonical home for new long-form pieces — recent essays cover AI in management and the economics of senior hiring. Earlier notes on engineering onboarding, startup strategy, and a few frontend topics are also kept available there.
