My name is Andriy.
I’m a software engineer currently working for Meta in Seattle, USA. Previously, I worked for Google and Amazon in Canada, the IAEA (UN organization) in Austria, a sports betting company in Austria, and an outsourcing company in Ukraine. I’ve been designing and implementing software solutions for 17+ years.
I used to speak at software engineering events and wrote a free e-book on design patterns. This is my blog — most posts are about software development and technology, though I sometimes write book reviews or share personal thoughts.
I’m ambitious, pragmatic, and focused on self-improvement. My goal is to be a successful software engineer, a millionaire at 41 (not ambitious enough), and a happy person overall. Reminder: neither you nor I are immortal. Don’t wait for good things to happen — go for them (as long as it’s legal and causes no harm).
If you’re not progressing, you’re regressing — keep moving forward, fast.
A fish that never moves is a dead fish.
Родом із Львівщини. Вчився і почав працювати у Львові.
Ich hab in Wien gelebt für 6 Jahre (don’t try to speak German to me — I forgot it).
I lived in Canada long enough to call it home, and since 2025 I’ve been in the USA exploring more.
Lately I’ve picked up rock climbing and Muay Thai.
