So far, while working at Cobalt I focused on quality topic and reducing customers churn. I executed several initiatives among which:
- Introduced company-wide process for reporting, tracking and reacting on bugs at production systems;
- Raising engineering awareness on quality topic by introducing  dashboard with main Engineering KPIs, analyzing numbers and running monthly reports.  

As an result, we are aware of our main quality KPIs and engineering team continuously works to improve them. Number of issues on production system is gradually decreasing. 

While working at Chegg:

Адекватные люди в менеджменте и адекватные ожидания.
