About

My name is Andrey, although online I'm often referred to as Spirit/Spirit532.
I'm a multidisciplinary systems engineer specializing in "art to part" turnkey solutions across technical domains.
I'm fluent in English, Russian, with minor knowledge of several other languages.
This website serves as a small portfolio and list of projects that I have worked on over the years, including ongoing ones.

Have a project in mind, but not sure what to do next? Contact me. Available for for full-time hire or freelance.
