zverok's space

SAVE UKRAINE
I don't build systems. I imagine them, then write them.

I am Victor Shepelev aka zverok. I am a software architect at Hubstaff, committer of the Ruby programming language, author of several open-source projects, and writer.

In tech, my main areas of interest are open data and writing lucid code. I approach the code—and the world in general—as a text that we should learn to read and write better. More about me →

Writing

I am currently working on my first Ruby book, titled “41 Ruby Intuitions” and writing a regular blog/substack on the adjacent topics and my open-data related projects.
