[ ABOUT ]

Hi, I’m Nikita, a software developer with a front-end focus and a curiosity for modern tech and personal efficiency.

I’ve worked in big tech, creating tools for data analytics and contributing to a design system used across a dozen teams. Now I’m building the best ridehailing platform in the world — two apps that run car, scooter, and charging-station fleets with a tangle of automation under the hood.

Outside work, I organize tech events and share what I learn — from small IT breakfasts to meetups with hundreds of guests. I’ve also taught at Yandex Summer Schools and spoken at public talks.

Ride-hailing platform for fleets

Car rentals from fleets directly to drivers

[ TALKS & ARTICLES ]

I recorded a training webinar where we role-played a real frontend interview: I solved JavaScript tasks live — async, algorithms, core JS. You’ll see common mistakes, thinking process, and tips to handle coding interviews with confidence

I shared how React Query helps manage server data in React apps: caching, background updates, UI sync. Record from my April 2024 talk

Text version of my React Query talk where I explain how React Query works under the hood
