I'm Ivan Salo — a developer and photographer. I build digital products and visual stories with the same attention to detail. In code, I value clarity and thoughtful architecture; in photography — light, atmosphere and honest moments.
I'm a developer and photographer. Programming gives me structure; photography gives me perspective. Both teach me to notice details, look for simple solutions and treat what I make with care.
A little moreI work across every layer of development — from individual details to complete systems. What matters to me is that the result isn't just functional, but also reliable, secure, fast and easy to maintain.
I like getting to the bottom of complex things and finding simple solutions for them. No extra complexity where it can be avoided.
Portraits and nature are what I love most. In photography I care about light, atmosphere and real emotion.
I don't try to make every frame perfect — it matters more to me that it feels alive and real.
Curiosity over trends.
I enjoy learning, experimenting and gradually improving whatever I'm working on. Try, simplify, see it through — and then look at what could be done even better.
I don't like talking much about my own skills. I'd rather let the work speak for them.
I simply try to do what I love well, stay open to new things and never stop learning.
A few things I've designed, built and shipped lately.
An interactive timeline of Bible history in Ukrainian: lifespans, reigns of the kings of Judah and Israel, world powers and events from Adam to our day. Each entry links its Bible verses and sources on jw.org.
Browse, clean up and merge JW Library backups right in the browser. Edit notes, highlights and tags, resolve conflicts and export a validated backup — nothing leaves your device.
A CLI that explains why code is the way it is: hotspots, file timelines, ownership, coupling and bus factor from Git history — plus an HTML report. On npm as @isalo/gtm.
A small slice from my ongoing photo journal.
I’m open to collaborating on web products and photography projects. I’d be happy to create something together.
