I'm Ilya, a stage/ screen Actor turned Web-Developer from Toronto, Canada.
I use my endless passion for coding and design to build and develop web content that is user-friendly, intuitive and most importantly, accessible to all.
My current obsession is React. I’m polishing my skills by working on a simple Netflix-like movie app called Hackflix using the Movie DB API.
Also, I'm a sucker for animations. GSAP absolutely blows my mind. Therefore, I am trying to teach myself the power of GSAP, one tween at a time! You can check out my code and anything else I’m working on this GitHub link.
When I'm not coding or acting, I'm usually out hiking/ camping or planning my next trip abroad.
