Ilia Timofeev

Software engineer: Ruby on Rails, JS, Clojure, ClojureScript

I started my professional path with industrial automation, but after a while I realised that it was not my thing. I studied Ruby on Rails on my own and moved to St. Petersburg and found my first job here. Soon it became necessary to deal with front-end - I got acquainted with React. Then I met less popular technologies like Elm and Clojure/ClojureScript. As a result, I can call myself a full-stack engineer. I’m trying to keep up with IT news: I listen to podcasts and read books.
