About Me
During the last 15 years as Software Engineer, I got a fortune to be involved in big Enterprise projects and startups in finances, events, and transportation areas in different roles – from Engineer to CTO. Strong understanding of software development lifecycle using agile methodology and LEAN approach. Used to work under pressure and in areas with a high level of uncertainty – in startup, there is a necessity to wear many hats at once. This gave me a good chance to develop hands-on development skills as well as people management.
