Hello there! 👋

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.

My tools are:

• .NET & C# for general software development
• R for data analysis ({rlang}/{tidyverse} way)
• pwsh for scripting & automation (it is crossplaform now)
• C/Rust for low-level development
• LaTeX for document markup and fancy plotting via tikz

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.

My publications can be found...

• at ADS (e.g., here)
• also here https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5563-7840
• or among arXiv preprints

Here are some silly stats:

What else?

• Dark mode all the way
• In my free time I enjoy gaming, mostly PC (I have a looong history).
