Hi there! My name is Ivan Kleshnin
I’m a software engineer, mentor, and blogger doing web development since 2007. Currently focused on running my own educational platform Paqmind.com. Occasionally open for mentorship, consulting, and freelance opportunities.
My professional interests are quite broad and include software architecture, functional programming, type systems – to name just a few. My working preferences are minimalism and 改善 (kaidzen, continuous improvement). I also know a thing a two about web design and development.
As a mentor, I prefer to give knowledge that will remain relevant over the years. Some of my former students work at Yandex, Sberbank, Alfa bank, Epam, Toptal, etc.
