I'm Ilya Lebedev
Software Engineer and Technical founder
I love to build products with real impact to the world. My main speciality is Ruby on Rails development and I'm constantly seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and stay at the forefront of the tech landscape.
Besides web development, I'm in web3 space for a long time: I've been mining ETH since 2016 until The Merge happened, managing 250+ GPUs.
I have a few other passions that keep me inspired. I enjoy traveling, and so far, I've had the pleasure of exploring 28 countries (with many more on my list). When I'm not immersed in coding, you can find me playing ping-pong, flying FPV drone or playing board games. I really love diving; I'm a certified scuba diver (PADI Advanced) and freediver (Molchanov Wave 1).
