I’m Michael Hurzhi — a web developer with an engineering background and fifteen years of shipped work. This page is the person behind the six directions.
I started building websites in 2011 — MODX first, then WordPress, front-end production and everything around it. Web work has been my profession ever since.
Before the web took over completely, I trained as a mechanical engineer and spent five years in heavy-machinery purchasing and logistics. That world runs on specifications, suppliers and deadlines with real consequences — it is where my habit of owning the last mile comes from.
Since 2018 I have been the long-term technical partner of a US agency, Cre8MediaHub — Senior Technical Lead for Web Systems, Infrastructure & AI. In 2026 I registered my own Austrian EPU in Dornbirn and now combine client work with my own products.
The way I build has changed a lot since 2011. Today AI does most of the typing — design directions, front-end code, content structure, tooling — while I hold the vision, the context and the responsibility for what actually ships. A page builder, a custom theme or a hand-coded front end are just different tools for the same job: a site that works for its owner long after launch.
Alongside client work I run my own products — Solarstorm.today, a bilingual space-weather service on live NOAA data, and a set of analysis tools around nutrigenomics and DNA data. They are where I test ideas first, so what reaches clients has already been through production once.
I work remotely from Dornbirn, Austria, with clients mostly in the US and the DACH region, and I prefer written communication — a clear brief and a written decision trail beat a call almost every time.

Originally from Mariupol, Ukraine. Working remotely worldwide.
English — working language with US clients since 2018 (B2, British Council). German — improving (A2). Ukrainian and Russian — native.
IT / web development services. Invoices, contracts and Impressum — all in order for direct collaboration.
AI-assisted development, WordPress, systems and automation — built to stay in production, not just to launch.
I think in systems and long cycles. AI changed the economics of building software; I treat it as a production multiplier and take responsibility for what ships.
Owning my own products — a bilingual space-weather service with a public MCP server among them — keeps that responsibility honest: there is no one else to hand the pager to. Off screen: space weather (obviously), genomics as a data hobby, and the classic PC games I grew up on.
