My name is Ilia and I am an astrophysicist and a PhD. No, seriously. Like an astronomer, but with more physics involved.
But I write code and I really enjoy it.

I am desperately trying to bring in more F#, learn Rust, get used to Python, and finally decode TypeScript (though I hope wasm will save us from JS nightmare).
Also CUDA. (Secretly I want to develop my own game, so I learned a little bit of DirectX, HLSL, then Unity & Blender).
I am a proud author of dipol-uf/dipol-uf, an app that powers polarimetric observations made by Dipol-UF polarimeter mounted on the Nordic Optical Telescope (Dipol-UF @ NOT).
I also contribute to the open-source extendr project, which bridges Rust and R. Check out extendr, Rust crate that helps write code compatible with R, and rextendr, an R pacakge for scaffolding, building and testing R packages that use extendr.
