AI Security in 2026: Prompt Injection, Leaks and What to Actually Do
The moment an assistant can read your data and take actions, a web page can start giving it orders. Here is how that works and how to stop it.
August 2026About Me
Developer, team lead, and entrepreneur with 9+ years in web and mobile development. I build products that work.
Hey, my name is Vlas Zubenko
I am a Web and Mobile Developer for over 9 years, combining technical expertise with project management. With a team I take on the full cycle of work: from strategy and design to programming, testing, and support. One person still runs the project — me. I work with businesses and startups from different countries, offering a flexible approach, understandable processes, and predictable results. If you need a reliable performer who speaks the language of business and brings projects to release — you are in the right place.
My Career Path
From the first line of code to 250+ completed projects — here is how my journey looked
2017
HTML & CSS — First Steps
Started learning HTML and CSS. Built first functional websites — simple but real. Pure practice: coded everything I could to understand how web development actually works.
2017–2018
JavaScript, jQuery & First Platform
Picked up JavaScript and jQuery to break into real development faster. At the same time registered on my first freelance platform — Kabanchik.
2018
First Money & Expanding to New Platforms
First earnings came from Kabanchik. Realized one platform wasn't enough — registered on Freelancehunt, Upwork, Freelance.ua and Kwork. Started taking orders from everywhere.
2019
Freelancehunt Becomes Home Base
Projects were coming from all platforms, but Freelancehunt became the main one. Their strict rules protected from scammers and created a reliable environment — real growth started here.
2020
First Returning Clients
First reviews, first clients who kept coming back — freelancing became a real profession, not just a side income.
2021
Top-20 HTML&CSS Developer
Broke into the top 20 HTML&CSS developers on Freelancehunt out of thousands of specialists. Freelancing fully covered everything — the moment when it all clicked into place.
2022
War. Market. Keeping Going
The war hit the market hard — clients paused projects, orders dropped, there was a lot of uncertainty. But giving up wasn't an option. Adapted, restructured, kept working. This year hardened me more than any other.
2023
First Team
Building the first reliable team — delegating tasks opened the door to full-cycle website development: from design and markup to launch and ongoing support. Bigger projects, bigger responsibility.
2024
#1 HTML&CSS Developer
Reached #1 among HTML&CSS developers on Freelancehunt — out of 5,787 specialists. At the same time adopted Next.js, React, Flutter, Python, Laravel, and Figma — projects moved to a completely different level.
2025
Personal Brand & Full-Cycle Service
Today every project starts with strategy, not just code. Audits find growth points, consultations shift the approach, development sells. I don't ship a project and disappear — I stay in the game as long as the client's business keeps growing. Full cycle. One point of responsibility. Results that speak for themselves.
2026
To be continued…
Something big is already in motion. Stay tuned — the best is yet to come.
