Frequently asked questions

Question 1

Which programming languages and ecosystems do you focus on?

Accepted Answer

I primarily work with low-level languages and manual memory management. I have deep experience in C, C++, Rust and Assembly. For system tools and backend services I typically use Go or C# (.NET).

Question 2

What does your reverse engineering experience cover?

Accepted Answer

I perform binary analysis on x86/x64 architectures with tools such as Ghidra, IDA Pro and x64dbg, analyze malware, and inspect network traffic at the byte level (Npcap/Wireshark).

Question 3

Do you work with legacy, undocumented codebases?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I often work in the critical parts of systems that nobody else wants to touch. Using reverse engineering, I decipher undocumented C/C++ projects or complex web architectures, then modernize them or rewrite them in memory-safe languages (Rust/Go).

Question 4

How do you handle deployments and CI/CD?

Accepted Answer

Code that only runs on localhost isn't finished. I containerize architectures with Docker/Kubernetes, design deterministic build pipelines with GitHub Actions/GitLab CI, and set up zero-downtime deployments to target servers.

Question 5

Our team is stuck on a critical bug or performance bottleneck. Do you offer urgent support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For database architectures collapsing under load, unexplained production crashes (segfaults), elusive memory leaks or severe bottlenecks, I join your system from the outside to identify and resolve the issue.

Question 6

Do you build closed, custom tools or automation for B2B clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I build industry-specific data collection and automation scripts, middleware that connects legacy enterprise software to modern systems, and fully isolated services that run on-premise, closed off from external networks.

Question 7

Which architectural approaches do you use?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe in silver bullets. I use Data-Oriented Design for performance-critical engines, and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) with modular monoliths or microservices for scalable web backends.

Question 8

How quickly do you respond to inquiries?

Accepted Answer

For inquiries received on weekdays between 10:00 and 18:00 (GMT+3), I typically respond within 24 hours with an initial engineering assessment of your request.

Question 9

Who owns the source code and intellectual property?

Accepted Answer

Unless agreed otherwise, all source code, architectural documentation and IP rights are fully transferred to you once payment is complete. Vendor lock-in isn't part of my business model; I build transparent, transferable systems.

Question 10

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Rather than billing hourly, I work on a fixed-price basis determined by the scope and complexity of what's being delivered. No surprise invoices — just a clear cost based on requirements agreed up front.

Question 11

Are you taking on new projects? Which ones do you say yes to?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but I'm selective. I'm not the right fit for a simple template-based website. I add the most value on projects where CPU cycles matter, where the architecture is genuinely challenging, or where a high-performance system needs to be designed from scratch.

Question 12

Can you work alongside our in-house team?

Accepted Answer

Both models work. I can deliver an independent product end to end, or join your existing team as a Fractional CTO or Senior Systems Architect — reviewing code, designing the architecture, automating CI/CD and raising the team's technical standards.

Question 13

Do you build MVPs for startups?

Accepted Answer

Yes — without trading quality for speed. An MVP needs to reach the market quickly, but it also needs a solid foundation to scale once it succeeds. I build clean, extensible architectures that won't leave you buried in technical debt.

Question 14

Do you offer consulting or architectural mentorship?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I provide corporate consulting and one-to-one mentorship, especially on systems programming (C/C++, Rust), memory optimization, and structuring software so it doesn't collapse under its own weight.

Question 15

Do you perform architecture audits of existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I analyze your team's code statically and dynamically for memory leaks, database bottlenecks (N+1 queries, missing indexes) and security vulnerabilities, and deliver actionable technical reports.
