Why Patching Globals Is Harmful
How it started
I was born in 1994 in a small town in eastern Ukraine. Unable to decide whom I wanted to be more—an astronaut or a drummer—I've slowly found myself in the grasp of graphic design. But the main reason I began learning it was so I would have a nice visual presentation for the "awesome" HTML sites I was building at the time.
I graduated from a medical university and moved to the Czech Republic to pursue a doctor's career. But life had different plans for me, and so it led me down the path of software engineering so I could affect the lives of thousands of other developers through the projects I would build.
How it's going
Over the past decade I've been working as a software engineer in digital agencies, large corporations, and startups of various stages of acquisition. I've learned and taught, broken and fixed, but most importantly, had a chance to meet so many wonderful people along the way.
Now, I've joined 
EpicWeb to teach the world about automated testing!
Writing
I created this website to be a personal space where I could write about the things I would like to read myself. I draw topics from my experiences and my struggles so we could learn together.

Debounce vs Throttle: Definitive Visual Guide
Open source
Open source plays a tremendous part in my engineering journey. This is my primary way of learning and I'm truly humbled to have influenced so many people with my projects. Here are just a few of them.
Speaking
I've been priveleged to speak at a number of events around the globe. From cozy meetups to large international conferences, I speak about the topics that interest me, sharing my knowledge with others.
Mocking WebSockets with MSW
Epic Web Conf 2024
Tune in to watch me unveil the WebSocket support in Mock Service Worker. And what is a better way to explore mocking real-time communication than building a multiplayer game entirely mock-first?
Past talks
Mock Service Worker 2.0
TestJS Summit 2023
I talk API mocking, web standards, and how Mock Service Worker marries the two together.
Dissecting Complexity in Tests
TestJS Summit 2022
The most common sources of complexity in tests and practical tips on how to approach them.
Beyond API Mocking
TestJS Summit 2021
Using Service Worker API to mock responses and why it's incredible.
