Taras Kuchmy
Full-Stack Developer & Builder
Independent developer who takes products from idea to live deployment — websites, mobile apps, factory automation, games, AI automation. A decade of team leadership grounds the engineering in real-world operations. I work end-to-end so the buyer doesn't need to coordinate three vendors: I design the database, build the app, deploy it, and keep it running. Multilingual delivery across English, Greek, Russian, and Ukrainian. Currently shipping production systems for clients in Greece and Kazakhstan.
