Hey there, I'm Ilya, a born-and-raised entrepreneur from Kyiv, Ukraine. Back in the day, I was just a kid who loved playing games and tinkering with computers. When the internet finally made its way into our home, I was hooked! I spent hours surfing the web, soaking up as much knowledge as I could about software and technology.

Fast forward to my university years at Kyiv Polytechnic University, where I pursued my passion for software engineering. It was a challenging journey, but after six years of hard work, I proudly earned my Master's degree.

Along the way, I dipped my toes into the world of front-end development, working for various companies, big and small. I became a pro at working remotely, but deep down, I always knew I wanted to build something of my own.

Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and like many others, I found myself out of a job. But instead of wallowing in self-pity, I saw it as a sign to finally pursue my entrepreneurial dreams. I reached out to a friend who shared my vision, and together, we founded Quanti Coders, a web development agency.

After a couple of years of building and refining our agency, I felt the urge to take on a new challenge. I became fascinated by the world of startups, diving headfirst into resources like Indie Hackers and Product Hunt. That's when it hit me – there was a gap in the market for a platform where founders could trade their small projects seamlessly.

And just like that, the idea for Microns was born. I poured my heart and soul into building a platform that would empower entrepreneurs worldwide. Today, I'm still on that journey, constantly striving to improve Microns and make a positive impact on the lives of countless aspiring founders around the globe.
