I'm Rick, a full-stack engineer building intelligent web products.
I went from teaching kids how to code at 15 to building AI-powered learning systems, always obsessed with how technology creates impact.
Today I design and ship web apps that combine the accessibility of the web with the depth of academic research — from AI-enhanced writing systems to sustainability projects.

💻 Level 6: Picked the "Geek" class in life; immediately fell in love with tech.
🧒 Level 15: Joined Unium, Russia's largest after-school education company, as its youngest employee; taught 100+ kids and learned how to explain tech to anyone.
🧑💻 Level 19: Joined Blizko, a 5 million user eCommerce platform; shipped my first production features used by thousands of real customers.
🎓 Level 21: Built an AI tutoring system and co-authored an ACM conference paper on it.
