About

I enjoy craft software with people and for people with a focus on value and business since 2004. I wrote my first lines of code in 1995 and a still extremely excited to create things that make a difference. I am flexible in the working model (outsources, our staffer, consulter, startup developer) and processes (scrum, kanban, commonsense). I have absorbed the best practices and patterns from diverse industries and could understand all sides of delivery cycles and everybody in a team. My main goal is to create a team that could together produce a solution, develop a perfect relationship with customers, meet your business goals, and discover new horizons. I believe that all engineering – is more about people. I have more than 20 years of solid engineering experience and 7+ of them as a Project manager and as Cloud/SaaS Architect, but always hands-on with proofing a design concept by development with a team. I think that languages are just a tool. I am polyglot and agnostic. I have Java, JS, Scala, Kotlin, C++, Rust, Python, Clojure, and Erlang in a toolbox. I have worked as a project manager of large projects based on Prince 2 or scrum methodology with team sizes 3-20 members on direct supervision. I am keen to work with UX and product teams and stakeholders and help them improve our product on every iteration. I have experience of high-load client isomorphic frontend architecture design based on React, stream-oriented reactive patterns. I am an earlier adopter of micro frontend architecture. I have worked as a system architect for over 12 years. I work almost with all well-known cloud platforms. Core Values: Creating Value: I seek to bring value, working alongside people who share the same passion to make a difference. People First: I firmly believe engineering is about people, and great leaders build other leaders. Culture Matters: Culture eats strategy for breakfast—fostering the right culture is foundational to success.
