Hi there! 👋 I'm Eugene Leontev

I'm a self-made Ruby Backend Developer and team leader with over 8 years of experience building highly loaded backends for mobile, web, and distributed applications. My main technology stack includes Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and Amazon AWS. I thrive in startups and mid-sized companies, solving real problems, taking ownership of products, and bringing measurable value to users.

I believe in simplicity, transparency, and measurability. My approach to complex systems is to build them in small, simple iterations. I'm an advocate of clean architecture and SOLID principles, and I ensure everything works as expected by covering source code with unit tests.

My Background
Location: Tbilisi, Georgia (originally from Siberia, Russia)

Experience: Wallarm (API Security), Eleving Group (Fintech Auto Loans), Appbooster (Hi-load Mobile Application), Bitupper (Cryptocurrency Blockchain Explorer)

Education: Bachelor's in Computer Programming, CS50 from Harvard College, and more!
Languages: Fluent in English (B2), native Russian speaker, and A1 in Georgian.

Fun Facts
🌟 Former radio DJ, sound producer, musician, and entrepreneur.
⛵ I have a sailing yacht captain's license!
🌍 Considering Argentina as my next base camp.

I enjoy using memes in technical discussions, so feel free to share a good one when we chat! Looking forward to connecting with like-minded folks who value transparency and people-centric environments as much as I do.

"All complex systems are built in small and relatively simple iterations."

Cheers,
Eugene
