FTL Faster Than Light

We love seeing the products we build make a real difference for our clients. ⚡️

We’ve just received some great feedback from our customer Kruze, an accounting outsourcing company, about the online platform we developed for them.

It’s always great to see what can come from close collaboration, shared ideas, and a strong partnership. 💫

Proud of the work we’ve built together!

Company culture can be harder to build when your team works remotely. But it doesn’t have to mean more meetings or forced team-building. At least… for us 🙂

Our HRG, Tetiana Chornobai, took a practical look at how teams can build a strong company culture in a remote environment and shared what works for us at FTL in a new TechBullion article.

From Speaking Clubs and company events to celebrating personal milestones and creating space for people to share their interests, it’s often the small things that help a remote team feel more connected.

8 years with Віталій Мазний. Yep, 8. 🥹

We only recently celebrated 5 years together, and somehow three more years just… happened. Time flies when you’re busy building things, tackling challenges, sharing ideas, and occasionally wondering how that bug even got there 😄

So today, we’re celebrating 8 years of Vitalii being part of FTL 💛

So many projects, stories, laughs, delicious barbecues and good moments along the way. And we’re very happy there’s still more to come.

Happy work anniversary, Vitalii! 🚀

Our business development manager, Diana went to TechBBQ in Copenhagen for the first time. And, well… she came back with stories. 🇩🇰

TechBBQ is all about startups, founders, and the people behind them.
There, you can just walk up to someone, say hi, and suddenly you’re networking.
Also, you can get a tattoo at one stand and co-write a song at another. So, guess who's going to release a song soon? 😁

Then there was the Danish approach to networking:
”Every speech started with a b**r. Almost every conversation did too.” 🍻
By day two, it felt like everyone knew everyone.

For FTL, this TechBBQ was the first and definitely not the last.
See you!

Recently, we asked our CEO, Denis Yakovenko, how he disconnects from work and prioritizes self-care.

His approach is pretty simple: you don’t have to switch off from work completely. Sometimes, you just need to switch your attention to something that requires your full focus.

In his case, it can sometimes mean… piloting a plane. Not what you expected, right? Well, we have pretty cool hobbies of our own:
“When you’re in the cockpit, you need to be focused on weather, navigation, and how not to die. You simply can not answer emails. It forces you to be here and now, and after landing, it is important to give yourself some time before jumping back into endless work.”

We’ll take that as a good reminder to put the phone away sometimes and just be present.

AI agents can do more than just write code.

Our developer Vlad Ruchko took a practical look at how AI agents can fit into everyday engineering workflows and turned it into a hands-on article.

He connected Claude with GitHub and YouTrack using MCP and built workflows that can review pull requests, find related tickets, create tasks, prepare testing checklists, and follow the team's own processes.

If you're curious about what this looks like in practice and how to build a similar workflow, check out the full article 👇🏻

A fresh Clutch review landed, and we're grateful to our clients for sharing their experience working with Faster Than Light.

Here's to building great products together! 🚀

AI coding tools can save developers hours of work, but only when they’re used wisely. 🤖

Recently, our Backend Developer Sergii Bobryka shared his thoughts with CTOSync on how engineering teams can safely integrate AI into their development workflows.

One of his biggest points is: « Never let AI access your secrets.”

In the article, Sergii explains why clear boundaries between AI-assisted development and sensitive operations are essential for building secure, reliable software.
