About Me
EngineerbyCraft,ProblemSolverbyNature
I'm Marina, a MERN stack developer and Founder & COO of Apixel — an IT company delivering full-stack web solutions. I love turning hard problems into elegant, performant code and I'm actively integrating AI into the products we build at Apixel.
I'm a full-stack engineer specializing in the MERN stack — React, Next.js, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. As Founder & COO of Apixel (apixel.net), I lead engineering and product delivery for clients across multiple industries. I architect and ship complete web applications with a strong emphasis on clean code, scalable architecture, and real-world performance. With AI transforming every industry, I'm building AI-powered features into our products — integrating OpenAI APIs, LangChain pipelines, and vector search into MERN applications. I'm also an active competitive programmer, which keeps my algorithmic thinking sharp for complex engineering challenges.

Clean Architecture
I write code that future-me (and teammates) can maintain — modular, well-typed, and documented where it counts.
AI Integration
I build LLM-powered features into production apps — OpenAI, LangChain, streaming responses, and vector search.
Algorithmic Thinking
Competitive programming sharpened my ability to break down complex problems and design efficient, optimal solutions.
Performance First
Every feature ships with Lighthouse metrics in mind. Slow UX is a bug, not a feature request.
