About

Hello, I’am Mykola Kecha. I work as a software engineer since 2013. During that time I was "wearing different kind of hats" - software engeener, team lead, tech lead. Primary spcecialization is PHP (Laravel, VueJS), but last year or so also using NodeJS & Golang (mostly on freelnaces & personal projects).
