Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)

National Technical University of Kazakhstan | 1996 – 2001

A selection of web applications I’ve built and contributed to - including award-winning solutions and innovative front-end architectures.

Blog platform

A full-featured blog application built to explore modern React architecture patterns and production-grade development practices. The goal was to implement a scalable, maintainable codebase using Feature-Sliced Design methodology with TypeScript, focusing on code splitting, proper state management, and developer experience.

Key features:

• Feature-Sliced Design (FSD) architecture with strict layer separation — app, pages, features, entities, widgets, and shared layers with custom ESLint plugin to enforce architectural boundaries;
• Custom Reducer Manager for dynamic Redux slice injection — reducers are loaded on demand with code splitting, reducing initial bundle size and improving performance;
• Redux Toolkit with RTK Query for API management, async thunks for complex logic, and typed selectors for type-safe state access;
• Comprehensive internationalization (i18n) with language detection, dynamic translation loading, and support for multiple locales (English/French);
• Advanced code splitting strategy — every page lazy-loaded, dynamic module loader for feature reducers, and chunk optimization for optimal loading performance;
• Complete blog functionality — article CRUD operations, rich text editing, commenting system, user profiles, authentication flow, and admin panel with role-based access;
• Storybook-driven component development with 60+ stories, addon integrations for testing UI states, and isolated component development workflow;
• Production-grade TypeScript setup with strict mode, path aliases, proper module resolution, and comprehensive type coverage across the entire codebase;
• Custom FSD slice generator CLI tool — automated creation of new features with proper folder structure, boilerplate files, and architectural compliance out of the box.

This project demonstrates how to build a scalable React application with proper architectural patterns, emphasizing code organization, type safety, and maintainability for large-scale production systems.

Battle City 1980

It is a personal project inspired by the legendary arcade game from my childhood. The goal wasn’t to recreate the original exactly, but to experiment with architecture and game development concepts using pure JavaScript.

Key features:

• Custom game loop built with requestAnimationFrame, separating logic and rendering;
• A state machine with modes like Menu, Gameplay, Next Level, Game Over, and Reset;
• Custom EventEmitter for communication between components;
• Sound Manager handling background music, shooting, and explosion effects with proper synchronization;
Frame rate–independent physics and collision logic.

This project became a great playground for exploring scalable game architecture and event-driven programming in JavaScript.

Web-based operating system

A personal project — a fully functional operating system that runs entirely in the browser. The goal was to explore how real OS concepts like kernels, process management, and file systems can be implemented from scratch using pure TypeScript, with zero runtime dependencies.

• Pure TypeScript implementation with no external libraries or frameworks;
• Runs entirely in the browser using IndexedDB for storage;
• Modular architecture with clear separation of concerns;
• Designed to be extensible and maintainable, with clean code and documentation.

Key features:

• Custom kernel with an 8-phase boot sequence, service registry (IoC container), and ordered dependency initialization — mirroring real OS runlevels;
• Middleware-based IPC bus with typed channels, event tracing, and Koa-style next() pipeline — any middleware can block an event before it reaches handlers;
• Capability-based app sandboxing — each app receives permission-checked proxies to system services, with per-app VFS access control and full audit logging;
• Persistent Virtual File System backed by IndexedDB with Unix-like paths, mkdir -p semantics, metadata, and a mountable driver interface;
• Signal-based reactive UI framework built from scratch (no React/Vue) — lightweight components with create / mount / destroy lifecycle and fine-grained reactivity;
• Composable window manager with drag, resize (8-directional handles), edge-snapping zones, z-index stacking, and taskbar-aware maximize;
• Unix-style shell with 50+ commands, pipe (|) and redirection (>, <, >>) support, plus grep, awk, sed, chmod, curl, tar, and more;
• Dynamic app ecosystem — manifest-driven apps loaded on demand, with file-type associations, an app installer, and process lifecycle management.
