About

Privet! My name is Kirill, and I am a passionate software developer living in a beautiful city of Berlin. I lived in Moscow, Russia until 24 of June 2022 year, when because of a war in Ukraine I had to relocate to Europe.

Having 11 years of software engineering experience I am proficient in handling complex tasks across tech stacks and/or functional domains. Driven by agile principles (especially passionate about lean and kanban) I am fond of CI/CD pipelines and continuous improvement process. Working in enterprise I drive innovation spirit and always do a little more to improve all kind of things around me and to enable everyone to deliver better things in more fast, predictable and secure way.

You can get in touch with me on LinkedIn, GitHub, Telegram and Facebook.
