I create distinctive works.
I am an entirely self-taught passionate programmer, team leader, sysadmin, designer, researcher, C1 speaker and amateur translator.
In IT since 2002 (online ªsince 2004; ªcode). System administrator since 2006 (before that – self-hosted FreeBSD boxes). Freelance developer and hacker since 2009. UI designer since 2010. ªAmong the first Laravel adopters in Runet (+ ªcore commits in 2012).
First (and most loved) PLs – Object Pascal, PHP and JavaScript, each – 15+ years, 100+ KLOC personally written. Preferring vanilla (CSS ªsince 2013) but can figure any framework, extend it or even roll my own.
Made web scrapers, client/servers, grammar-based and binary parsers, regexp- and AST-based text and HTML formatters, in-code bug tracker, code interpreters, pure C, Delphi, PHP and JavaScript libraries, whole games. Versed in Windows internals and ªinfosec ªoverall. Reverse-engineered dozens of Visual Novels, drivers, compression algorithms, network protocols.
Do most coding in G/Vim and Notepad 2e (maintainer since 2013). Prefer Git (used Subversion until 2012), Mantis, GitHub and e-mail. Used to intensively work with Trello.
Have written technical docs (for my projects and of others), articles (first posted ªin 2006), tutorials, specs, translated that too, localized ªanime and games – typed 1000+ A4 pages of natural language texts. Reviewed some books for Packt Publishing.
In a way, this is what a GUI-centric G/Vim could be – a powerhouse text manipulator: math evaluation, simultaneous editing, grep, PCRE, etc.
Blazing fast, doesn’t choke on 100+ MiB files, just one EXE file (2 MiB), portable (INI), XP+.
A C99 reimplementation of exceptions (try/catch/finally), a gcc/clang type-safe OOP, etc.
Assists in reverse-engineering of Windows applications.
Custom INI-based script format, built-in RPN evaluator, various hook modes, etc.
The legendary turn-based strategy of the 90s. Over 100,000 lines of PHP and JavaScript code.
Implemented from scratch binary map parser and compiler, storage system, bug tracker, WebSocket client/server, AI and more.
Invented during a work on a project using Backbone.js to replace the latter.
Founded by me ªin early 2012 when Laravel 3 was just released. The website was first written using L3 and then rewritten using L4.
I made both designs and translated dozens of articles and most of the official documentation for Laravel 3-5.
Supports modern browsers with graceful degradation for legacy user-agents (Internet Explorer 6+).
Provides automatic synchronization of nodes, collected data, patching, error reporting and administration.
I have actually hacked the game way back in 2010 but only got around to translating it 10 years later.
Hands-on guide to the specifics of WEP, WPA, WPS, aircrack, hashcat, etc. Published in 2014.
Written in 2010 for novice hackers. The subject is a VN-like interpreter made in Delphi 7.
These allow text localization, resource ripping, etc.
First published around September 2008.
Traditionally a template is a mix of custom directives and HTML code. HTMLki is different – it extends the usual HTML tags with loops, variables, conditions, etc.
As opposed to YACC, ANTLR and other existing solutions Lightpath doesn’t involve a single line of programming.
It allows construction of data trees using just a single language construct and indentation.
This one was rewritten 3 times as my developer’s skills were strengthening. Last time – in 2010 and it’s still powering formatting of some websites, like Laravel.ru.
The markup syntax originated in WackoWiki in early 2000s and was extended by this project.
It’s using a single regular expression to process the entire source and convert it into HTML.
This is a short but fun game, about an hour of read and an omake to the anime “NHK ni Youkoso!”.
Hacked, translated and checked by me, albeit with a 10-year difference (2010, 2020).
I’ve written this for one of my online friends back in 2010. This 30-page guide is intended to give an all-round insight into how RCE is performed.
Features IDA Pro, OllyDbg and 010 Editor.

I maintained this page in 2009-2013. It's now heavily outdated but still kept around for historical reasons.
All programs were written in Delphi 7. My Unicode units and, later, the D7X library originated here.

Random stuff I have produced over the years, which ended up not being used in the wild.
Primary web-related, made in Photoshop and Illustrator.
