About
Hello!
I'm Ivan, software engineer, who likes to experiment with web technologies and write about it.
I'm currently working as a frontend developer at Kontur, where i lead UX/UI engineering for Kontur.Talk, building the bridge between creative design and technical implementation, with a focus on performance, maintainability and accessibility.
I also like lifting weights, running, playing badminton and cooking.

Notes
Thoughts
Losing my mind again debugging HTTP signatures. So easy to have flakiness between implementations.
Upgraded to the latest Tahoe beta and now a couple of apps seem to be confused. Nova thinks it’s expired. I have an older serial number, but they should work forever just without updates. I think something might be weird with the system keychain
Mac folks, any bugs you’ve noticed recently in the Micro.blog app? Fixing a couple little things for macOS 26 Tahoe beta
