Aliaksandr Kazlou's Email

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken - Oscar Wilde I am an experienced and professional software engineer. Be able to deliver the result and getting things done, by either working individually or as part of a larger team. Aim for simple and elegant solutions. There is no right or wrong approach, but there is one which is simple, works, and meets the business constraints. I love to build and develop software. And challenge the established so called rules the industry has. I believe in the value of simplicity, clean code, and that small team can achieve the results bigger companies can't do or do running over budget and time. I believe in full stack development, and in craftsmanship. My core principles would be: simplicity, automation and visibility - is that keeping the code simple, automating all manual processes, and having the visibility on all the levels of the product development (how it grows, how decisions are made, how the system behaves in production) everything could be achieved much faster, with less cost and better quality. I prefer working independently but cooperating with others. To be a partner, rather than just an employee. I value freedom, autonomy and possibilities to make my own decisions, having a power to be involved in all stages of the product development cycle - from the high level architecture, to how it is deployed to production. Working on hard and difficult problems, keeping a focus on science part of computer science. I do care about what I do and what impact my day to day job has on the business and product success, my personal, financial and professional growths and people's life.
