Why me?

If you're tired of your developer not knowing where to place a button, look no further. I'm a full-stack engineer who has been programming for most of my life, since I was 15 years old. I combine solid IT, development, and marketing knowledge to build products from a blank canvas to real paid users πŸ’°.

As a self-starter, I don't expect you to tell me what to do at the granular level. I'll go ahead and collect the needed details myself and will get it done. These days, I work with TypeScript, NodeJS, React/NextJS and AI to get the ball rolling fast.

I started as a backend developer, but over the years, I transitioned to full-stack development. I like architecting the backend, tinkering with databases, setting up API endpoints and then implementing the frontend with React and Tailwind πŸ“ˆ.

Although I'm based in πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί Europe, I have over 10+ years of proven remote work experience with πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ US companies. Different time zones can help you perform your job more effectively.

My job is to solve problems with technology

I'm a T-shaped person. My primary expertise is around backend software development and building things fast. At the same time, I'm a full-stack engineer with a strong focus on growth and business problems. I like marketing as it forces you to understand why you're building things.

Director of Engineering
Rebecca Yang
HubSpot Director of Engineering
I cannot recommend Arminas Zukauskas highly enough. At both Clearbit and HubSpot, I witnessed his exceptional talent as both an engineer and team member. Arminas was instrumental in developing and launching our extremely successful Clearbit Weekly Visitor Report as part of our growth engineering team. After we were acquired by HubSpot, he transitioned from growth engineering to software engineering, where he went on to build large portions of Buyer Intent and Research Intent, demonstrating his ability to scale and deliver on complex products. What sets him apart is his incredible speed and remarkable adaptability. He demonstrates incredible ownership and craft in everything he touches, staying deeply customer-focused while bringing empathy and collaboration to every interaction.

I had the pleasure of managing Arminas during his time on our marketing team at Toptal, and I can confidently say he was one of the most exceptional engineers I've worked with. What set him apart wasn't just his technical expertise, but his remarkable ability to consistently deliver high-quality work with minimal oversight. Arminas approached every project with a level of self-motivation that made my job as his manager genuinely enjoyable. He had an innate ability to understand requirements, anticipate potential challenges, and deliver solutions that exceeded expectations. His work was always thorough, well-thought-out, and completed on time. Any organization would be fortunate to have Arminas on their team. He's the rare combination of technical excellence, professional maturity, and personal integrity that every manager hopes to find.


Can we work together?

I believe so!
I'm open to hearing about all kinds of small and big projects.
But I bring the most value to PLG-focused (or willing-to-be) companies.
