About Me

Bio

Hi, I'm Pavel. I live in Norway, love building great products and happy engineering teams. Struggling to decide what I enjoy more.

I'm from Belarus originally. In early 2021, my family and I relocated to Norway. I look forward to going back to my homeland as soon as I can, but for now I'm enjoying life in the beautiful and calm country of Norway.

You can read about my professional career history on linkedin. Currently I'm working as Engineering Manager at the intersection of development, devops and product in Tribia, helping technical and business ideas gain traction.

I've been working in software engineering for over 13 years. During this time, I've had the chance to experience different roles and projects, giving me a holistic understanding of the entire software development process. Most of the time I'm working closely with engineering teams to make sure projects are on point - delivered with good quality and in a timely manner. My role involves guiding and mentoring the team members, assisting with solution and architecture design, enhancing development processes, offering support wherever needed, and most importantly, making sure everyone is having a good time while getting things done. I find joy in fostering a positive and supportive work environment, where my colleagues feel valued, encouraged, and driven. One of greatest passions lies in assisting my team members in their professional growth and development. I am constantly seeking ways to support them on their journey towards achieving their aspirations and objectives.

Throughout my career, I've mainly concentrated on web development, amassing valuable expertise in this field. I worked with a diverse range of technologies and frameworks, both on the frontend and backend. From developing simple web applications to more complex SaaS products, I've had the opportunity to learn and grow as an engineer. For the last several years I had also a strong focus on devops and adopting the best practices to help streamline and automate our development and deployment processes at Tribia.

I am driven by constant learning and have an affinity for others who are too. I value commitment and responsibility. I enjoy working in people-first organizations alongside individuals who share my passion for software development and hold similar values.

Education

In my educational background, I hold a Bachelor's degree in "Artificial Intelligence" from BSUIR and a Master's degree in "Theoretical foundations of computer science". Both of these programs laid a solid groundwork in computer science and equipped me with the necessary skills for my journey as a software engineer.

I also pursued a Ph.D. program at BSUIR, however, as I progressed through the program, I found that it was increasingly difficult to balance between study and my full-time job. I completed the academic years, got a Researcher degree (don't think there is a suitable equivalent of it in EU/US) and dropped out of the Ph.D. work defense in order to focus on my career. Despite leaving the Ph.D. program, I believe that the knowledge and skills I gained have been invaluable in my career and helped me to to adopt data-driven and experiment-driven approaches in my everyday work.
