💼 Past Experience
Russians in Silicon Valley: Life, work, culture and projectsWhen Alex Skorokhodov was born in Russia in 1985, he was the only son and the only child of a working mom and a blue-collar dad. Alex started learning English in the early age of 4 and obsessed with playing video games. When he was 10, he decided that he wanted to be a software engineer and started school in 1992. In 1993, he graduated from high school, but he was not content with his prospects.“In Russia, there’s no “life story” like in the West,” Alex says. “My family was really poor and there were no opportunities for me to get a good education. I always wanted to be a software engineer, and when I saw the opportunity to come to the States and study at a good university, I didn’t hesitate. I was very happy to get an opportunity to work at Shutterfly.”When he arrived in the Bay Area in 2007, Alex saw the opportunity to work in the cloud. He had been working in the industry for 2 years at Shutterfly, a web development firm, before coming to Twilio.“Cloud computing is a big opportunity in the Russian Federation,” he says. “Innovations like Facebook and Twitter have made it possible for people to be used anywhere at any time. I think that the cloud is going to be really important for software engineering in the years to come.”AlexSkorokhodov grew up in a town in Russia, Novosibirsk, but he now lives in Redwood City, California. He is a Senior Software Engineer at Twilio, working on developing cloud-based applications and services. In his free time, Alex likes to play video games, learn new languages, and read.
