Top SchoolRoman Liutikov is a self-taught software engineer and co-founder with 13 years of experience specializing in web UI development and performance, currently leading engineering efforts across multiple ventures from Kyiv. He has progressed from freelance work to senior roles and engineering management at Pitch and Whimsical, and now balances founder responsibilities at TARS Software with a CTO role at SkyDefenders. Roman is an active open-source contributor, improving developer tooling and UI libraries—work that includes contributions to ClojureScript, the Rum UI library, and practical tools like html-to-react-components and Atom file icons. His strength lies in bridging front-end polish with compiler- and build-level optimizations, a combination reflected in both UI improvements and deeper ClojureScript compiler fixes. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, he often surfaces small UX and performance wins that compound into noticeably faster, cleaner products.
