Salad
Stop eating the same salad every day.
A small recipe helper for building salads from whatever I happened to have in the fridge. Taught me a lot about iOS, data modelling, and what users actually use (and ignore).

Hi, I'm Yuriy —
a software engineer

actually work.
I lead frontend work at a startup, turn complex systems into usable products, and care about architecture, clarity, and the kind of decisions that scale — in code and in teams.

About me
A short introduction
NameYuriy Gromchenko
RoleWeb Engineer
Writes inEnglish

I'm a software engineer who cares about building things that actually work — not just technically, but in the real world.
Right now I lead frontend work at a startup, where I spend most of my time turning complex systems into usable products. I think a lot about architecture, clarity, and how to make decisions that scale — not just in code, but in teams.
I like responsibility. I like hard problems. And I like when things are clean, simple, and intentional.
Outside of work, I'm working on becoming someone with more control over life — not less. That means better health, better discipline, and eventually the freedom to move, travel, and build on my own terms.
Lately, that looks like
- TrainingGym, swimming — pushing toward competition level
- LearningDeeply. Not just consuming — actually understanding
- FixingBad habits. Replacing them with better systems
- CookingGetting better at it — quality matters even in small things
I'm not optimizing for comfort.
I'm optimizing for growth and freedom.
What I believe
- Clarity beats complexity
- Discipline creates freedom
- Most people underestimate how much they can change
- Doing the work matters more than talking about it
What I'm building toward
- Build meaningful products
- Travel freely — ideally somewhere warm, often
- Keep strong relationships, not just busy ones
- Spend time on things I actually care about

Things I've made
Three retired iOS apps, kept here as a record
I've shipped a handful of iOS apps over the years — none of them are in the App Store anymore, but each one taught me something I still use. Keeping them here as a record of the work.

Success
Easily keep records of your success.
A minimal journal for logging small wins — one line a day. The simplest app I've built and, surprisingly, the one I still miss.

Math
Train your skills in mathematics. Find new tricks to solve equations faster.
Drill-style mental-math practice with a focus on mental shortcuts. A side project that grew, shipped, and quietly retired.
