Ilia Borovitinov
Founding Engineer at Electric
Istanbul, Türkiye Turkey
Summary
🤩
RockstarIlia Borovitinov is a founding engineer based in Istanbul with a decade of experience building scalable full-stack systems and shipping production-first features. He blends deep backend expertise in Elixir/Phoenix and PostgreSQL with hands-on frontend work in Vue/Nuxt, evidenced by contributions to popular projects like Electric SQL and a Vue 3 datepicker component. At TalkJS and SL Tech he optimized performance across the stack—profiling React, tuning Elixir supervision trees, and redesigning architectures to move monoliths toward Elixir services—often yielding large runtime and CI speed wins. He pairs leadership and delivery: leading teams, instituting CI/CD and test coverage practices, and driving schema and deployment changes that reduce hot-path latency. Notably comfortable across languages (Python, TypeScript, Elixir), he gravitates toward pragmatic system improvements that reveal themselves as smaller, high-impact refactors rather than flashy rewrites.
