About Me

Hello, I'm Aleksey Maltsev

Senior Software Engineer

I've been programming for fun and profit since 2014, focusing on distributed systems and highload applications. My main stack is C#, Kotlin, and TypeScript, but I'm also proficient in Go.

Fun fact: I was born on the 11th of April, just a day before Yuri Gagarin's flight. Poehali! 🚀
