Technical support specialist who launched SaltVPN, a Telegram subscription service with automated VPN node recovery.

Russian Federation

I help users resolve technical issues by identifying where a problem occurred and explaining solutions in plain language. In online IT education, I conduct video consultations and introductory programming lessons, answer customer questions, and help with screen sharing, connections, and learning platform issues.

I launched SaltVPN, a subscription service with a Telegram bot, using FastAPI and aiogram. I integrated YooKassa and Telegram Stars payments and configured automatic VPN node recovery after failures.
