What I do now
I am focused on agentic development: turning vague product work into scoped tasks, repo-isolated implementation, automated validation, and real QA evidence. The goal is simple: ship useful projects without babysitting every step.
My current work spans Telegram bots, crypto and trading tools, self-hosted infrastructure, and the local automation that keeps those projects healthy.
Book
I also co-authored a productivity book. You can buy it on the book's website or Amazon. I wrote about the publishing process on my blog too.
My story
Hi there! My name is Nikita, and I'm a serial product launcher. I'm half developer, half entrepreneur.
I started as an iOS developer. Over the years, I've mastered backend, frontend, Android, React Native development, management, hiring, consulting, public speaking, and other soft skills. You can find my up-to-date tech stack in the list of my code templates.
Ways to contribute
In case you want, you can always become a sponsor of my work on my GitHub Sponsor profile or on my Buy Me a Coffee profile. I fund all of my projects personally, and the donations help me a lot to keep the products free and open. Thank you.
