Hi I’m Ivan (he/him), I met a bunch of you at the gathering last week and enjoyed getting to chat to all the friendly people.

I am a London based freelance dev working with Katja at Cookiewolf, and before that with Kim at GFSC.

My main tech skills are the usual webby things: Ruby on Rails, typescript, javascript, postgres, ops and so on. I would consider myself a “full stack” but mainly I’m a “Push my sleeves up and dig into a problem” kind of developer who isn’t too phased by weird codebases (please no perl tho, hahaha)

Other than that I am your typical nerd: neuro-divergent, disabled, queer, artist type who’s brain is both my greatest asset and distraction. But it does love gobbling up code.

Many thanks,

Ivan K.
