Serhii Shalamov

I’m a software engineer with over 7 years of experience building Flutter apps. After exploring different areas of software development, mobile became my home and Flutter turned out to be a really good fit.

Most of my career has been in healthcare, where I’m currently working on Digizorg, a Dutch digital healthcare platform that helps patients navigate the healthcare system.

Beyond that, I mentor junior developers at TBR Group, a Flutter app development company. I also contribute to open source, including my package transformable_list_view, and regularly attend Flutter conferences. I just really enjoy sharing things I wish I had known earlier.
