## Who I am
|
||||
|
||||
My name is Alexander Sokolov, online I go by s0k0l. I'm a generalist IT specialist: user behavior emulation, data extraction and information security. I write scrapers and bots that get past anti-bot protection, build websites and network services, and secure infrastructure and development.
|
||||
|
||||
I prefer to work from a spec and take a project from idea to MVP or release. If there is no spec, I'll write it myself: do the research, pick the technologies, estimate complexity and timelines. I work by my own [Software Development Standards](/code-style.md) and always start with requirements and architecture, not with code.
|
||||
|
||||
My result is a solved problem. Source code is the proof that the solution works. If we agreed on something, I will do everything to keep my promise.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I do
|
||||
|
||||
I create software and hardware products for people and businesses that help them live better and work more comfortably.
|
||||
|
||||
### Software: bots, services, automation
|
||||
|
||||
I'm drawn to tasks around the web and Linux:
|
||||
|
||||
- website scraping and anti-bot bypass
|
||||
- website bots and chatbots
|
||||
- high-load systems built on queues and microservices
|
||||
- websites, web applications and services
|
||||
- accepting crypto payments directly, on-chain, with no intermediaries
|
||||
- information security for servers and development
|
||||
|
||||
My detailed track record is in the [CV](/cv/index.md).
|
||||
|
||||
### Hardware: devices, electronics, prototypes
|
||||
|
||||
I learned microcontroller programming because I dream of building robots. In the meantime I built a hardware password manager, ProtoKey. I plan to keep growing in this direction, I have plenty of ideas for useful devices.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where to find me
|
||||
|
||||
Everything alive is here now:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Blog](/blog/) - articles on development, servers and automation
|
||||
- [git.sokolab.xyz](https://git.sokolab.xyz/s0k0l) - my code and examples
|
||||
|
||||
I used to be active on other platforms too. I barely visit them now, but I keep the links, they show where I started.
|
||||
|
||||
**[Stack Overflow](https://ru.stackoverflow.com/users/362019/alex)** (in Russian). For many years I answered questions there and asked colleagues myself. The site is almost empty now, AI answers these questions instead.
|
||||
|
||||
**[Medium](https://alexandrsokolov-41020.medium.com/)**. My first blog. I wrote about development there, but someone else's platform got old fast, so now I write here.
|
||||
|
||||
**[GitHub](https://github.com/alexsok-bit/)**. Code for the Medium articles and old projects. New code lives on my own git.
|
||||
|
||||
**[Mozilla Add-ons](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/16605688/)**. When I was building data collection tools, I needed to adapt Firefox to my tasks. I wrote a couple of add-ons for that and published them in the public catalog. I made them for myself, but other people started using them, and they still leave comments.
