I am the enthusiastic and highly competent IT manager with 25+ years of broad experience in IT infrastructure and DevOps, software development, security, project management and high-availability architecture. Started my career as a programmer, then senior engineer and have been working as a manager for last 15+ years. Comprehensive technical experience collected all along the career path. Have managed engineering teams various sizes, from a small lab to a department with 40+ people, but still keep hands-on technical expertise. My leadership style is built upon gaining the trust of the team being a high-level expert in the subject area, the pursuit of perfection and the constant search for opportunities to extend my knowledge or refine personal managerial skills. Solid mathematical background helped me to develop analytical mind with strong sense of detail. And the most important – I’m still wired by this job and enjoy it!
