About

Vita (Latin word for "life") can refer to a brief biography. One can expect a vita to unfold its story gradually according to a set pattern. Often the term vita means a curriculum vitae (resume in North American English).

 

Ilya GrigorikWelcome, my name is Ilya Grigorik. I am a tinkerer at heart and a hopeless, proverbial early-adopter of all things digital. I am the founder and CTO of PostRank, a blogger, and a developer. My background is in Computer Science, and you will often find me researching or evangelizing the latest web and cloud computing software architectures, or web standards in general.

I learn by doing, thoroughly enjoy the creative process, and use this blog as an outlet for some of these passions. There is nothing more rewarding than a job well done, and nothing more exciting than the prospect of what lies ahead. You will often find me quoting Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: "Seize this very minute; what you can do, or dream you can be, begin it; Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
