I am inspired by the desire to contribute to the development of global society, promoting the values of peace, cooperation, and personal growth.
Through lectures, educational events, cultural initiatives, and writing, I strive to help people learn, grow, and draw inspiration. Utilizing coding and scientific knowledge and psychological approaches, I create useful programs, practices, and educational content aimed at helping people live in harmony with one another, realize their potential, and find joy in daily life.
As a vegan and volunteer, I follow the principles of non-violence and selfless service, striving to make a modest contribution to cultural development and the improvement of quality of life for creative class.
I am firmly against engaging in any work that fails to directly benefit humanity or goes against my core values. I have no desire to be bound by rigid schedules and templates that stifle creativity and personal growth.
Above all, I refuse to be involved in activities that harm individuals or society, such as promoting hate speech, violence, war, gambling, scams, or addictive substances like alcohol and nicotine.
My mission is to uplift and empower others, not to contribute to their detriment.
I seek opportunities that align with my principles of compassion, cooperation, and creating a more peaceful world.
I created and delivered a lecture how to use of Large Language Models (LLM) to enhance programming efficiency. Covering a range of topics from fundamental concepts to advanced practical applications, the lecture provides an in-depth overview of tools and methods, supplemented by real-world examples. This four-hour session not only imparts theoretical knowledge but also includes practical exercises, demonstrating how LLMs can revolutionize coding by automating routine tasks, optimizing code, and solving programming issues, thereby elevating both productivity and quality in software development.
Started a public Telegram channel with news on the topic: @llms4coding
Telegram bots are being used to deliver immersive storytelling experiences, with the first project focusing on the occupation of Kyiv and the Babi Yar Holocaust tragedy during World War II. This narrative spans over 45 locations along a 15km route, using live location features for engagement. Initially developed in 2019-20 with Google Apps Script, the project has evolved in 2021 into a custom-built engine, incorporating a KML parser and a Telegram Bot API POST wrapper, all implemented using Node.js. Due to the military actions, the public launch of the project was postponed from 2022 to 2024.
"87 Online" was a closed Facebook group dedicated to personal development. It operates with a unique approach, providing weekly tasks to its members. Participants complete these tasks and maintain personal journal feeds within the group, sharing their discoveries and insights. This format fosters interaction, as members can comment on each other's posts. The diversity of the tasks, coupled with the varied backgrounds of the participants, allows for a comprehensive exploration of themes and showcases the diversity of experiences and perspectives among the group members. This project not only aids in personal growth but also promotes community engagement and mutual learning.
"Falafel Map" was a 2016-17 initiative mapping Kyiv's falafel locations, featuring prices and user comments. This project involved hands-on exploration and tasting across the city, alongside managing a community of falafel enthusiasts on VK.com and Facebook. It utilized JavaScript, MapBox API for mapping, DISQUS for commenting, with data organized in geoJSON format, serving as a dynamic resource for falafel lovers. The project attracted the interest of journalists and was covered by various publications.
I created and delivered a lecture series on non-monogamous relationship forms, which was met with overwhelming success, being fully booked for 10 sessions. This was followed by a more in-depth lecture specifically focused on polyamory. One variant of the lecture was uniquely formatted into small, digestible blocks and recorded with professional equipment. This approach allowed for the segmentation of the content into short fragments, which were then compiled into a playlist and made available on YouTube. This format not only enhanced the accessibility of the material but also catered to a broader audience seeking understanding and insights into non-traditional relationship dynamics.
