arseniy popovfrontend engineer

I build interfaces, systems, and product flows for complex software — from fintech to developer-heavy tools. I specialize in the React and Next.js ecosystem, including TypeScript, GraphQL APIs, and design systems.

stack

✦ react, typescript, product systems

✦ architecture, debugging, delivery

✦ fintech scale + game design intuition

✦ works across design and engineering

about

started with games → moved into fintech → now building systems.

I work between design and engineering.

my goal: reduce complexity without reducing power.

approach

  • — simplify before scaling
  • — remove unnecessary steps
  • — build systems, not pages
  • — think in flows, not screens

React & Next.js Engineer

React has been my primary tool for years. I build apps with Next.js App Router, use TypeScript everywhere, and connect to backends through GraphQL and REST APIs.

At Yandex I contributed to BNPL product features serving millions of users. At Chainstack I reduced CI build time by 3× and cut frontend bug rate by ~33% through systematic refactoring.

I think in components, but I ship systems. Architecture, performance, and code health are not afterthoughts.
