Who am I?

A husband, curious traveller, coffee lover, and Toffee's person.

My name is Alexander, or simply Alex. My Russian-speaking friends call me Sasha, which is another name of mine. I live in Berlin and build backend software for banking infrastructure. I'm curious about banks, payments, transport, logistics and complex systems, and I like making useful things other people can use to make their lives a little easier or more fun.

Outside work, my wife and I enjoy good coffee, cooking, trying new food and finding new places. Toffee, our cocker spaniel, is always ready for a long walk and an everyday adventure.

I've been on this planet for 978,265,512 seconds, and I'm trying to enjoy every one of them.
