A small public surface.
I grew up in Moscow and now live in Thorold, Ontario. Outside work, life revolves around family, the Raptors, and the occasional trip worth remembering.

Prefer durable links and plain HTML.

The docs are a developer portal for this site — design tokens, components, the change checklist, and deep dives like the full story of the Android dock. Written for humans and agents.
