ABOUT ME
WordPress Core Contributor, Backend and Systems Developer
WordPress Core Contributor, Backend and Systems Developer
I’ve been infatuated with computers and programming since the late 90s. I started with BASIC and found PHP in the early 2000s, learning C and C++ along the way. I’m a problem solver at heart, I thoroughly enjoy taking difficult tasks, unpacking them, and finding solutions that are practical and efficient.
I'm also a small-time venture investor, technology startup mentor, ultrarunner and a long-distance running coach in my spare time.
As an active member of the WordPress community since 2012, I’m involved in all levels of the project, be it contributing to the WordPress software, organizing and speaking and WordPress events, or building open-source plugins.
PHP, Python, C, JavaScript, etc.

Gennady is the best mentor I've found on this platform. I am a novice and Gennady explained things well, was patient, and challenged me to develop my problem solving skills.

Gennady is a very fast and efficient worker. He also takes the time to explain out things that are wrong to you. Has a very welcoming personality. There was not once when I felt that the integrity of Gennady's knowledge about the subject faltered. He was able to help me so much on my flask and bootstrap project. Overall I would highly recommend him for a job.
