Fullstack Developer · 12+ years
Ilya Zhidkov.
— builds typed things, end to end.
12+ years across the whole TypeScript stack — React and Next.js up front, NestJS, tRPC and Elysia in the back. Web3 and React Native on the side. Originally from Siberia.
Type safety, great DX, and performance are the things I don't compromise on.

About
Been building things with code for over 20 years — into CS since age 7, writing Pascal since 9, raised at a family-run programming school. No formal degree, and no regrets: by the time university came around I was already teaching programming there, so I went straight into professional work instead.
Along the way: 15+ regional, national, and international competition wins and awards in programming and CS, including 1st place at a national programming contest and a Presidential Scholarship.
These days I enjoy solving complex problems, experimenting with new tech, and contributing to open source.
