Hi! I’m Andrew.
I moved from Russia to the Netherlands with my family and cats.
Now in Amsterdam, I work at JetBrains, collect retro games, and build a tactical hex-based indie game.
Into tech, game dev, or migration stories with a touch of humor? You’re in the right place.

Update on my open-source project, meowg1k! 🚀
It's an AI assistant for your terminal, built automation & scripting, not for chat.
The documentation is now live, along with a new demo GIF showing it in action.

I've been building my perfect development setup and made a small plugin to scratch an itch! meow.yarn.nvim helps you visualize LSP type & call hierarchies in a simple, interactive tree.
Hope you find it useful.

After almost seven years, my journey with JetBrains is coming to a close. Next week will be my last.
These have been incredible years, and the first five were genuinely some of the happiest, largely thanks to the amazing people I had the privilege of working alongside.

Looking at my battle-scarred Dell, I realized an upgrade is due. Feels like my Windows era is winding down, especially since I spend most of my time in WSL anyway. A switch seems natural now.

I wrote strata to save myself a ton of time, and maybe it can help you too! Check it out:

It lets you draw all model textures consistently in one layered PSD and export them directly for #GodotEngine.
