Hi, I'm Grek — Full-Stack Python Developer & AI Engineer

#python #developer #fullstack #ai

Short version: I build production-grade systems that solve business problems. Long version below.

Hey dev.to 👋

I'm Dmitrii Iakovlev, operating under the brand Grek Creator. I'm a Full-Stack Python Developer and AI Integration Engineer based in Saint Petersburg, working remotely with clients in UAE, EU, and Russia.

What I Actually Do

I don't just write code. I build systems that:

  • Reduce no-show rates from 21% to 8.1% (medical clinic)
  • Generate $58K GMV in first 6 weeks (Dubai yacht marketplace)
  • Compress 500–600 hours of development into 2 weeks using AI-augmented workflows (dating platform)

My stack: Python 3.12, FastAPI, aiogram 3, React 18, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, AWS.

But the tools are secondary. What matters is the outcome: production-grade reliability, measurable business impact, and compliance where it counts (152-FZ, GDPR, healthcare regulations).

Why Arabic RTL Matters (And Why I Built It Myself)

One thing I'm proud of: my portfolio site grekcreator.com supports RU / EN / Arabic RTL across all pages — including the PWA version at app.grekcreator.com.

Why? Because if I'm targeting UAE clients, I need to speak their language — literally.

# utils/i18n.py
def is_rtl_language(lang_code: str) -> bool:
    return lang_code in {"ar", "fa", "he", "ur"}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
// React component — dynamic dir attribute
function PageLayout({ children, lang }) {
  return (
    <div dir={is_rtl_language(lang) ? "rtl" : "ltr"} className={`lang-${lang}`}>
      {children}
    </div>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

It's not just translation. It's layout mirroring, form validation adjustments, date formatting, and cultural UX considerations. And yes — I built it myself, because off-the-shelf solutions didn't cut it for my use case.

If you need a full website or PWA with Arabic RTL support — I've done it, I can do it again.

How I Work

  • Remote-first, 40+ hours/week, flexible across UAE/EU/US timezones
  • Fixed-price contracts with milestone-based delivery (no surprise invoices)
  • NDA-compliant — I respect client confidentiality
  • Production-grade code: type hints, error handling, comprehensive logging, Docker Compose deploys

I'm not a "code monkey". I'm a partner who thinks about your business metrics, not just GitHub stars.

What's on My Radar Right Now

  1. gc-pwa Phase 2 — Frontend for my live AI demo at app.grekcreator.com
  2. Arabic RTL expansion — Adding full RTL support to more projects
  3. Local LLM optimization — Making Qwen2.5-3B run faster on CPU for cost-sensitive clients

Let's Connect

If you're building something interesting — especially in UAE, healthcare, or AI automation — I'd love to hear about it.
