Roman Tolkachyov

From Siberia with python.

I'm a backend developer in St. Petersburg. I started on PHP in 2001 and moved to Python in 2006, and lately I've been coming at one question from two sides: making Python faster. That means a small web framework built for free-threading, and routing primitives written in Rust and bound back into Python.
