I'm based in Opole, originally from Ukraine, living in Poland for the past few years. Software engineer, been doing this for almost a decade, building AI tools right now. I work a lot, but I'm good at making time for people.

When I'm not working, I fall into random topics and research them way too thoroughly. Bread-baking chemistry one week, mechanical keyboards the next. If something catches my attention, I'm going to learn everything about it. Ask me about whatever my current obsession is and I'll talk for hours.

I travel with a Fujifilm camera, a book I'll never finish, and I keep ending up in places I didn't plan to visit. If someone mentions live music two kilometers away, I'm already walking.

I play guitar, finished music school, and go to concerts whenever I can. Lady Gaga, Twenty One Pilots, film scores, Disney soundtracks. My Spotify Wrapped is embarrassing every December and I have no plans to fix that.

Two dogs live with me: Stinky, a rescue mix with loud opinions, and Judy, an Italian Greyhound who thinks weather is a personal insult. They're why I can't host right now. But if you're passing through Opole and want a coffee or a walk, message me.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

The best way to know a city is through the people who live there. I travel when I can, and the conversations I remember most never happened in museums. I'm here for those connections, and I want to be that local for someone passing through Opole.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: All over the place. Lady Gaga, Twenty One Pilots, film scores, old soul records. I play guitar, finished music school, and I'll go to a concert any chance I get.

Movies: Lord of the Rings first, always, extended editions only. Spider-Man since forever. I love animated films, The Greatest Showman, Yes Man. If it's sci-fi with a beating heart, I'm watching it.

Games: I have a PS5 and not enough free time for it. Dispatch caught me off guard and stayed with me.

Books: The Hobbit, Sapiens, and No Longer Human by Dazai, which I did not expect to hit that hard. I read slower than I'd like, so if you have a recommendation, especially something short and a little strange, I want to hear it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

During the full-scale invasion, we ended up in a small village near Kamianets-Podilskyi. I'd just lost my first dog, Gerda. A few weeks later I saw a dog crawling past the window, back legs paralyzed, completely unbothered. We started feeding her, then washing her, and at some point it wasn't a question anymore. When we left, she came with us. Lviv, then Poland. She has wheels now, a pile of toys, and zero fear of people.

教，学，和分享

Teach: Whatever you're curious about. Could be tech, AI, baking Ukrainian food, getting by as an immigrant, or a few Ukrainian phrases that'll get you a free drink somewhere.

Learn: Show me your city the way you live in it. Cook me your favorite thing. Try teaching me your language, I'll be terrible but enthusiastic.

Share: Good playlists, too many dog photos, and homemade khachapuri if you're lucky.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm quiet and I don't snore, or at least nobody has filed an official complaint yet. I clean up after myself and I'm happy to help with whatever's needed, even if it's running errands or helping you choose a carpet for your apartment. I like talking, I like listening, and I always have my camera on me. If you want some decent photos of yourself in your own city, let me know.
