Hey / Привет / やあ 👋
My name is Vladimir (or Вова /ˈvo.və/, or ヴォーヴァ), and I'm a principal backend engineer at @evilmartians.
📕 The 2nd edition of "Layered design for Ruby on Rails applications" is avalable now: Amazon | Packt | На русском языке
I'm working on:
- Making real-time apps rock with @anycable (built with Ruby and Go).
- Bringing edge Ruby features to all Rubies with @ruby-next—a transpiler for Ruby.
- Helping Ruby devs to write faster tests with test-prof.
- Expanding the boundaries of Ruby on Rails by pushing it closer to the browser via Rails on Wasm.
- ...and other projects, such as: Action Policy, Logidze, Anyway Config and many more.
