Summary
Valery Stepanov is an independent entrepreneur and software engineer with 11 years of experience building web and mobile products and, more recently, systems in Rust. He has moved from iOS and web development into freelance Rust work and independent ventures, combining practical deployment experience with low-level systems programming. Based in Saratov, Russia, Valery enjoys both reading and writing Rust and prefers to own projects end-to-end—from design and implementation to deployment. His background as a long-run self-employed developer means he’s comfortable with client-facing roles, product iteration, and maintaining production services. Notably, he blends a maker’s mindset with production discipline: he likes to build deployable solutions rather than just prototypes.
