Engineer, consultant, bootstrapper.

I’m Oleksandr Bystrikov, a software engineer and entrepreneur based in Berlin. I co-founded indie hacker startup Valisa, where I build innovative tools for better travel.

Innovation-friendly software

Our world relies on vintage technology. Chemical terminals use 25-year-old tools that work in Internet Explorer 5 only, trains run on Windows XP, and who knows what Perls you may find in a traditional banking sector?

Complex solution to a simple problem

How a tiny change revealed that my website became unmaintainable. What I learned about managing complexity. And how to make difficult engineering decisions.
