Oh, you found me!
Let me share a few words about myself. I’m originally from Ukraine, but since 2020, I’ve been living the digital nomad life, currently residing in Belgium. So far, I’ve explored 22 countries and 180 cities.
1992 – Got my first Nintendo and Sega. 1994 – At 8, I had my first P133MHz computer—thanks to my dad for that investment. 1998 – Started making my first money by selling hardware and setting up software for the neighborhood.
By 16, I was into web development, working with CSS and HTML, and experimenting with PHP and WordPress. That’s when I knew I was hooked.
Before focusing on side projects, I held product and marketing roles, including co-founding and holding a few C-level positions. But what I’ve always wanted is to build my own profitable SaaS businesses..
My Fav Places to Live & Chill
#1. Lisbon 🇵🇹
After living here for almost two years, I can confidently call Lisbon my second hometown. It’s a place I always want to return to.
#2. Amsterdam 🇳🇱
I like to think of Amsterdam as a Disneyland for adults. Its cozy streets, beautiful canals, and amazing atmosphere make it one of my top cities.
#3. Madrid 🇪🇸
This city surprises me with its rich culture and undeniable Spanish charm. I’m always happy to come back and explore more.
#4. Rotterdam 🇳🇱
Rotterdam’s urbanism and modern architecture fascinate me. For me, it’s like a second Berlin.
#5. Berlin 🇩🇪
No need for words—Berlin is a mecca for hipsters and artists from around the globe.
#6. London 🇬🇧
Luxury, expensive, diverse—London is a city I always enjoy exploring, despite its high costs.
#7. New York 🇺🇸
What can I say about NYC? It’s the city everyone dreams of visiting or living in. After 1.5 years here, it’s still one of my favs.
#8. Amalfi Coast 🇮🇹
This place feels unreal. With incredible food and breathtaking views, the Amalfi Coast has my heart forever.
#9. San Sebastian 🇪🇸
Barcelona is a bit too crowded for me, but San Sebastian was an incredible find—offering the true essence of Spain.
#10. Mykonos 🇬🇷
I’m in love with Greek islands like Santorini and Crete, but Mykonos holds a special place in my heart.
Why I'm here?
This is my personal corner on the web, where I share my journey toward freedom through a rollercoaster of successes and failures. You’ll find insights into my side projects, techniques I use, my vision, open startup data, and general updates about what’s going on with me.
I’m always eager to connect with like-minded people, digital nomads, and indie hackers. And if we’re in the same area, I’d love to grab a coffee or beer. Feel free to reach out on Twitter or other social media—I’d love to connect!
If you have any feedback or suggestions on my projects, your input would be invaluable.
Vision
I believe in decentralization—not just in tech, but in the real world. Everyone should have the freedom to live wherever they choose, without limitations. For me, travel is the best antidote to both depression and aging; it keeps me open-minded and allows me to continuously explore new cultures and change my surroundings.
I follow the philosophy of “healthy body, healthy mind,” which is why I prioritize healthy eating and regular exercise.
Lifelong learning is at the core of who I am. I’m constantly educating myself, whether it’s by following people who inspire me, diving into books, learning new languages, or keeping up with the latest tech trends.

Newslettters?
Email spam is the worst. But some newsletters can actually be useful, and I’ll do my best to make sure mine falls into that category.
