About me

Hello, I’m Ruslan, a seasoned software engineer with over a decade of experience developing backend systems. I’m a firm believer in a balance between high-quality code/design and common sense.

Aside from my professional work, I contribute to Checkstyle - an open-source project that ensures code compliance with coding standards in Java world. I’m proud to have served as a mentor for several students in the Google Summer of Code program, all of whom successfully completed their work.

In my free time, I enjoy reading both technical and non-technical books. I truly believe that books give you that solid foundation, which makes you a better person and engineer, but often ignored by many people nowadays.

Through this blog, I aim to share my thoughts on software development, backend systems, open-source projects, code and design quality, and offer practical tips and tricks for fellow developers.

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned!
