Illia has spent the past decade developing web apps and enterprise systems on Java and, most recently, Scala. He's an expert in functional programming and OOP and has copious experience in Akka, Typesafe technologies, Spring Framework, JMS, and JPA, among other things. He is also capable in web and SQL development, architecture, and software design. Illia has some casual contact with Python, Erlang, and Connect IQ, and he's a quick learner; he can pick up new technology with ease.
