about me

I was born in St. Petersburg, Russia (so I also go by Grisha, pronounced gree-sha). I have lived in San Francisco, CA for most of my life and now call Santa Fe, NM my home. I am fond of cycling, running with my dog, checking out art and music shows, and munching on pickled herring and rye toast.

I’ve been known to build software for companies of different types and sizes and lead small engineering teams. Check out my personal blog for recent write-ups or scroll down to see my resume.

work style

  • Client-centric: Cater to the needs of my client (internal or external) on cost, scope and other individual aspects of a project

  • Communicative: Transparent, honest, and proactive in all my communication

  • Collaborative: Believe in the power of teamwork

  • Empathetic: Continually put myself into the shoes of the end user to build a product that’s pleasant and easy to use

  • Humble: A beginner mindset that’s willing to use every challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow
