I BUILD SOFTWARE
AND RAISE HUMANS.

WHAT IS THIS PLACE?

Hi, I'm Vadim. This is my digital garden.

It's a dashboard for my active projects and a blog about the reality of being a senior developer with three kids. Expect raw notes on code, chaos, and efficiency.

WHO_AM_I?

FATHER OF 3.SOFTWARE ENGINEER.

Balancing the chaos of raising humans with the precision of writing code. My life is a constant refactoring process.

This space is my digital garden—unpolished, raw, and growing. Here I track my projects and document the psychological toll of striving for perfection in an imperfect world.

WHY_I_REWRITE_EVERYTHING

The urge to refactor is not about code quality. It's about control in a chaotic world.
