I’ve built websites and startups for more than a decade. I teach what actually works in freelancing, and I still get my hands dirty in Drupal — audits, architecture, performance, migrations, and complex integrations.
My channel LobodaTech is where I share the playbook I wish I had when I started.

For Clients
I help companies build and grow with Drupal. From new websites to complex integrations, I focus on creating stable, scalable solutions that last.
What I Do:
Full Website Development: Drupal websites built from scratch with clean architecture and modern best practices.
System Architecture & Integrations: APIs, payment gateways, CRMs, and third-party services that work seamlessly together.
Audits & Consulting: Performance, security, and code reviews with clear, actionable recommendations.
Note: I’m not seeking full-time roles, but I’m open to exceptional remote opportunities in the $150k–$200k/yr range if there’s strong autonomy and impact.
My Way
Freelance
Since my school days, I’ve been fascinated by building websites — starting out by creating projects for friends and colleagues. Over time, that passion grew into deep expertise in Drupal.
2008 Teaching
I began teaching web development at the Computer Academy “STEP”. Over several years I trained more than 300 students, many of whom built strong IT careers. This experience taught me how to break down complex
ideas into simple, practical lessons.
2009 Vacation at Sea
My first startup was an online cruise booking service launched with a friend. It was a difficult but valuable challenge that showed me what it really takes to create and sustain a product.
2010 TriArtika
I co-founded a web studio with my partner and delivered more than 100 projects. Working with clients of different sizes gave us deep insight into building websites that don’t just work technically but also
support real business goals.
2011 EmpireTV
I helped launch a video streaming platform that quickly scaled to 7,000 daily visitors in just six months. It was an intense project that demonstrated the impact of strong technical execution on growth.
2012 Megazakaz
I supported the launch of an e-commerce platform that grew into a leader in its niche. Working closely with the founder gave me insight into how online retail operates at scale.
2013 Web Development Course
At Computer Academy “STEP”, I designed and launched a full web development curriculum. It became one of the first structured programs in Odessa, preparing a new generation of developers for professional
careers.
2015 Browifi
Together with a colleague, I launched Browifi, a Wi-Fi marketing service with a fresh approach. Within a year, it reached 76% profitability, proving that combining technology with business insight can create
highly profitable solutions.
2017 Upwork
After years of running companies, I returned to development and joined Upwork. My focus was on building a reputation, earning client trust, and growing steadily. This decision became the foundation for my
freelance success.
By consistently improving my skills and client relationships, I passed $600k in total earnings on Upwork. I now work at $100/hour, delivering results for both enterprises and startups while maintaining
long-term partnerships.
2025 LobodaTech
I created LobodaTech, my YouTube channel, to share everything I’ve learned about freelancing. Each week I publish new videos on Upwork strategies, mindset, and growth, helping others succeed without years of
trial and error.
