Hi, I'm Aleksandr 👋

I'm a software engineer based in Finland, currently working as a Frontend Engineer at Finnplay. Previously, I worked at Schibsted/Vend and Dream Broker.

At Schibsted/Vend, I was the sole frontend developer for seven applications across four Nordic marketplaces, covering listing creation and seller statistics.

Outside work, I build my own apps, design interfaces and make 3D illustrations in Blender. I work mostly with TypeScript, React and Next.js, plus Node.js and PostgreSQL on the backend.

Projects

  • Artifact (in development) — a browser editor for album covers and posters. It combines images, text, shader effects and 3D scenes using layers or a node graph. Source
  • PopChoice (in development) — an app for choosing what to watch, alone or with friends. Each person can add reference films, a mood and things they'd rather avoid. Source
  • Under Glass (v0.1 preview) — a toolkit for interactive 3D architecture diagrams. The preview maps PopChoice's services, with isometric and top views. Source

Experiments

I keep interactive studies and notes in my Design Lab. A few to try:

  • Car Dashboard — a simulated drivetrain and dashboard, with generated engine sounds and gamepad controls.
  • Smiley Spheres — a Three.js playground for textures, colour palettes and collision detection.
  • Dice Sim — throwable 3D dice with physics, adjustable dice pools and camera controls.

I've also been modelling Fallout props, including a Nuka-Cola bottle and a terminal. These and my UI concepts are on Dribbble.

Other projects

Vantaa Underground is a website I'm building for the music project, with releases, cover art and a 3D photo archive. It's still at an early stage. I also make some of the release artwork.

Character Generator is a workspace for generating consistent characters and objects from saved profiles and reference images. Its source is private.

I also maintain my own infrastructure for logging, metrics and uptime monitoring.
