Personality

Empathic, slow, reticent. Constantly learning whole life, love to read books including philosophy, novels and fiction. I do not blindly follow the rules, but tend to question them. I always prefer composite, simple solutions or even code duplication over sophisticated abstractions.

Work experience

In total 10 years. Workplace details on linkedin.

• 3 years C++.
• 5 years PHP, javascript.
• 2 years GO.
• 1 year JAVA.
• 2 years leading teams, internal trainings.

Always worked in a team of 2 - 8 people and I’m against large teams. Skilled engineers know what needs to be done if goals are clear. A team of skilled people, do not need to be led.
