About

I'm Dimitri Pisarev, a software developer. I build web applications, automate workflows, and develop backend services: as products, not projects.

My conviction: simple beats clever. Performance is a feature. Software is only done when it runs in production: and is documented well enough to change.

What I learn while building, I write down: practical, traceable, without a marketing filter.

How I work

  • Simple beats clever

    Complexity is borrowed time. I pay it back as late as possible.

  • Performance is a feature

    Fast pages get read. Slow ones get closed.

  • Ship, then iterate

    A shipped 0.1 teaches more than three months of planning.

  • Write down what broke

    Every failure gets documented: next time the fix takes minutes, not hours.
