Vlad Alive

Back in 1989 I've got my first coding experience in my six years - when my parents bought me brand new "ZX Spectrum". Since then I've never left the path of software engineering. I was truly curious about computers, coding, writing small scripts - to see how creativity efforts turn into living flesh.

All my projects helped me to build a vision of how to develop software. I worked to build web applications using the best tools I could find. Always searching for a "chance to automatize" this old boring thing.

Today I craft working applications. I engage with only few projects, which I believe in and which can make a difference. That's my own point of view about YOLO.

My core values are communication, details and quality.

I read (and sometimes write) about software development, PM, QA, code reviews, code style, pair programming, automated testing, continuous integration, DevOps, Ruby and JavaScript.

I enjoy connecting with bright minds. People who have their own big ideas to change the world. Let me fail the "reality check". One day we will change the world!

I want to help ambitious businessmen to materialize their vision of problems into working and lasting solutions.

I will handle the most fragile aspects of managing software development for your venture.

• Translating business goals into plan using tech
• Doing code review, revealing weakness and suggesting how to make it more reliable, readable and extendable
• Establishing a reliable development work-flow based on quality and results
