A pragmatic open-source contributor, he’s improved HTML5 rendering and text handling in the well-known OpenFL framework while sharing the tools he builds during game development. Ilia is a curious polyglot developer who enjoys profiling performance bottlenecks and adopting new languages and AI-powered tooling to solve hard engineering problems.
