Summary
🤩
RockstarDmitri Sotnikov is a Web Developer with 14 years of experience based in Old Toronto, Canada, known for authoring the Luminus framework and the book Web Development with Clojure. He blends full-stack Clojure/ClojureScript expertise with practical back-end systems work—contributions span templating (Selmer), PDF generation, static site tooling (Cryogen), and Ajax clients (cljs-ajax). Dmitri has a track record of maintaining and evolving libraries, handling dependency upgrades, bug fixes, and performance-minded refactors, and has contributed Luminus benchmarks to TechEmpower. His work shows a deep comfort with parsing, templating, database access, and interop between Clojure and JavaScript ecosystems. Notably, he often improves tooling and documentation as much as core features, helping projects stay usable and current for other developers.
