    Hi! My name is Gosha<sup class="reference" id="reference-bio-1"
      ><a href="#footnote-bio-1">1</a></sup
    >
    and I am a Russian-born, French-raised photographer, designer, and
    programmer living and working in London. I have been online since the
    mid-1990's, and have been working with the Web ever since then.
  </p>
  <p>
    This website is intended as an online space for documenting and archiving
    various <a href="/projects">projects</a> I'm involved with, as well as
    sharing exploration, research, and experiences accumulated along the way.
    You can read more about the technical details of the site in the
    <a href="/colophon">Colophon</a>.
  </p>
  <p>
    For the last few years, I've been running
    <a href="https://a.possible.space/">A Possible Space</a>, a tiny creative
    studio I've co-founded with my partner. Before that, among other things,
    I've been the technical director of product design agency
    <a href="https://aqworks.com/">AQ</a> in Tokyo, and co-founded the civic
    tech startup Local Republic.
  </p>
  <p>I welcome all kinds of collaborations.</p>
  <p>
    If you enjoy my work, please consider

    appreciate it!
