I am Nikita Sobolev (Russian: Никита Соболев). This is how I usually look like:

Work

I work as a CTO at wemake.services, I also happen to be a founder of this company.

The thing I like about my job is freedom, I can:

• Create new products for our clients
• Write a lot of open-source code
• Work on processes in our company, that’s exactly how I came up with RSDP
• Spread a word about what I do with my blog posts and conference talks
• Participate in different closely-related activities

Side projects

I also run a few side projects:

• hrvs.tech where I help recruiters to write great vacancies for developers (closed)
• drylabs.io where I consult people about their architecture and design decisions. This project is started with sustainable open-source model in mind
• OpensourceFindings channel where I share and advertise awesome open-source related projects, articles, and talks

Stack

I work with python, elixir, and javascript (typescript too). But, I am also familiar with many other languages.

You can check my .dotfiles to get the exact the same setup as I have.

Conferences I organize

I am also helping to organize several meetups and conferences:

• ElixirLangMoscow which I founded back in 2016
• MoscowPythonConf where I am a Program Committee member
• RussianPythonWeek where I am a Program Committee leader

Education career

I also like to spread the limited knowledge I have. I gave lectures in several Universities in Russia:

• MosPolytech in 2017
• RANEPA in 2018
• IFMO in 2019
• SPbU in 2020/2021

And I have also created several independent courses for #tceh, iidf, devman, and Numa Moscow.

I have also participated in Google Summer of Code 2020 as a mentor for Django Software Foundation.

Identity

I don’t have any social network accounts or any messengers. You can only find me on platforms that are listed below on this page.

I am using keybase to identify my verified online accounts.
