About

My story is written in code. Two decades of learning, dedication, expertise.

Hi there

I'm Alexei, a freelance developer finding balance in clarity of code and calm of nature

My journey began in a late 1980s computer club and led through industrial server rooms to managing infrastructure for a UN agency. This path taught me to see systems as a whole and to build solutions that are solid and reliable at their core.

In 2015, I made a deliberate choice to trade a comfortable career for freedom, embracing freelance development and life in the countryside. This change gave me space to work at my own pace, stay curious, and genuinely care about each project and the people behind it.

Trusted Partnerships

Success Stories

Hours of Passion and Dedication

Heart, Mind, Soul

Happy Clients

The best measure of work is a project delivered and a happy client. Here are a few kind words from people I've worked with.

Alexei is the most proficient and efficient freelancer we have contracted. What he says, he does. Always a pleasure to be able to count on Alexei. We will hire him again for the next project coming up.
Alexei is reliable, honest, and does exceptional work. If he quadrupled his rate, he would still be a bargain.
It could not be better! Just perfect. Alexei helped me to create what other developers could not achieve with my project for several years. I think Alexei is the best developer I have ever hired with the knowledge of expert-level beyond the expected field. Alexei I really appreciate your help!
ROFL
THIS GUY SAVED MY LIFE! I thought I had completely destroyed my client's website, and he brought it back from the dead like some sort of tech necromancer <3
Alexey demonstrated outstanding performance (as usual). The scope of work done is far beyond the expected issue. Apart from going to the cloud Alexey made fine-tuning of NGNIX and raised the overall site loading speed. He also accomplished security tuning on a top-notch level. I highly recommend Alexey and will definitely employ him once again.
Alexei has demonstrated the perfect approach to all project details. I highly recommend him as a truly high level professional. I really appreciate all efforts Alexei made in order for the project to turn alive.
Very proficient with a good overview of other aspects which I didn't even consider - delivered fast and could deal very well with sometime limited time frames. Looking forward to hire him again soon.
This is the second time I've worked with Alexei. He has been reliable and honest, which is exactly the type of person I like working with.
Awesome contractor to work with. A+ experience! Will use again :)
Perfect! Prompt and expert level. Exactly what I was looking for.
Outstanding work - will be using again. Did all the work exactly as needed!
For a long time I've been looking for a freelancer like Alexei. I liked that he offered solutions, tried to improve the way of work and provided a quick response. We'll work together again soon, Thank you!
Very skilled. Amazing communication. Alexei cares about things being done the right way more than I did :D
Alexei did an excellent job and offers a wide range of knowledge and skills. His self-initiative was very valuable to our company, that let us focus on other tasks, while knowing that Alexei has it all under control. Challenging tasks and website problems, which were caused by previous agency, he managed to solve perfectly! He was initially hired to help us solve specific website issues but quickly became our webmaster managing all web and server related tasks. We will hire him again within a new agreement.
