About Me

"The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur." — ELON MUSK

Hey there! Glad you could make it to my interactive resume experience. Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Artem Leznikov and I am a full stack web developer living in downtown Toronto. Currently I’m working for a digital agency called Pixelcarve. My personal interests include fitness, travelling and of course web development.

For me, web development started as a hobby I did on the side for fun. It wasn’t until I graduated University I realized it was my real passion. From then on, I took the plunge, switched career paths and never looked back. Over the last few years, I’ve built dozens of websites for a very diverse set of clients ranging from Law firms, to Cryptocurrency, to Real Estate, to Music and so on. This tremendous experience exposed me to many skill sets and technologies.

As I continue on this wonderful journey of web development, I vow to regularly improve my skills, learn new technologies and make the web a greater experience for everyone. My dream is for the web to become more interactive, three dimensional, responsive, progressive and dynamic. Let’s work together to make that dream come true!
