👋🏻 Hi, I'm Vova

Software engineer based in Vancouver(🇨🇦), specializing in full-stack web development, machine learning, and cloud services

🥹 Hire me

I have a job but I'm open for new opportunities if it's much better that my current company

My perfect job is: I want to work in a small team with a lot of freedom, strong product ownership and blurred responsibilities (I like working with new technologies and doing something outside of my responsibilities as long as it brings value to the company). I want to work for a B2C company, I want to travel a lot but don't mind having my laptop with me to fix something, I like going to the office and want to be involved company's strategic decisions
