Illustrated portrait of Vladimir Penkin

Hi, I'm Vladimir Penkin

A seasoned software engineer

  • coding since 2000
  • lived in 3 countries
  • speaks EN · RU · ½ ES
  • 📍 San Francisco

My first taste of programming came in 1995, punching commands into a Lunokhod (Big Trak) toy rover, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Along the way I’ve lived in 📍Russia, 📍Colombia and now 📍San Francisco, where I explore the city on shared e-bikes, slow down over a good cup of loose-leaf tea and keep trying to understand how the world works.

Welcome to my corner of the web.
