ExMoment Ltd.
At ExMoment, I oversee the full product development cycle — from early planning and technical architecture to delivery and long-term support. My role blends team coordination with hands-on involvement in crafting solutions for clients across both the EU and US.
We build scalable, reliable web products on WordPress and custom systems, often integrating AI tools like GPT, Codex, and Operator to streamline execution and reduce technical overhead. I support everything from scoping and prototyping to gradual automation — always prioritizing clarity and maintainability.
To date, I’ve helped lead the resolution of over 75+ Codex and Operator tasks, spanning merged branches, system integrations, and research-driven solutions across multiple environments.
The goal stays consistent: deliver clean systems, reduce complexity, and create long-term product momentum.

Job History
Full Stack Web Developer (Lead)
Nov 2021 – Present
FullStackRemote
Joined Full Stack Remote (FSR) in 2021 as a full-stack developer.
During this time, I developed the first version of what became ExoTrix — a custom WordPress integration for the Spektrix ticketing system.
Now a core part of ExMoment’s portfolio, ExoTrix bridges the gap between WordPress websites and the Spektrix CRM, enabling seamless integration of event listings, ticket sales, customer data, and donations. It replaces static embeds with a fully dynamic, theme-integrated experience optimized for engagement and conversion.
The plugin supports shortcode rendering, Elementor integration, and custom UI logic — all tailored for cultural organizations and venues looking to modernize their digital presence without compromising their brand identity.
This project was one of the earliest testbeds for our AI-augmented dev workflows, combining clean architecture with automation-ready logic. It continues to power live websites across the cultural and nonprofit sector.

Toptal
Joining Toptal was a game changer. Since the beginning, I’ve supported 15+ clients across industries ranging from eCommerce and fintech to media and iGaming — delivering full-cycle web solutions with performance, clarity, and scalability in mind.
I specialize in WordPress-based ecosystems, REST API integrations, and custom frontend development. Whether building MVPs or complex internal platforms, my focus is on creating systems that are reliable, easy to maintain, and future-ready.
In recent years, my work has evolved to include AI-augmented workflows — applying tools like GPT, OpenAI API, Codex, and Operator to streamline development, automate logic-heavy tasks, and reduce manual overhead. I’ve integrated these tools across projects involving WordPress, Telegram bots, and internal admin systems, helping teams deliver faster without compromising quality.
My approach blends technical depth with clear communication and delivery reliability. I enjoy solving architecture challenge
