About
Bio
Hi, I'm Pavel. My passion lies in crafting products and fostering happy engineering teams. It's a delightful struggle to decide which of those I enjoy more!
I live in Oslo, but I'm originally from Belarus. My family and I made the move to Norway in early 2021. While I hope returning to my homeland someday, I'm enjoying life in Norway's serene and picturesque surroundings for now.
Work
You can read about my professional career history on Linkedin. Currently I'm working as Engineering Manager at Tribia, helping technical and business ideas gain traction. Here I'm leading the key product initiatives (SaaS, IAM, notification center, etc) and taking care of our engineering teams.
For the last several years I also had a strong focus on DevOps and adopting the best practices to streamline and automate our development and deployment processes at Tribia. I've invested significant effort in creating robust CI/CD pipelines, IaaC setup for Auth0/Keycloak, monitoring (NewRelic), feature toggles, etc., so that our engineering teams could deliver changes swiftly and with confidence.
Before joining Tribia, I spent over a decade in consultancy roles at Coherent Solutions and Tieto. I've worked with various clients, from banks to startups, building products ranging from pretty basic web apps to high-load and high-sec SaaS systems. I've had the chance to work with a wide range of technologies, but my primary focus began with the Java stack (Spring, Quarkus, APIs). Over time, I've transitioned into more Fullstack development (React/NextJS), as well as delving into DevOps and Cloud technologies.
I am driven by constant learning and greatly appreciate those who share the same drive. I value commitment and responsibility. I enjoy working in people-first organizations where there's a shared enthusiasm for software engineering.
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 degrees have provided me with a solid foundation in computer science and software engineering.
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. Although I left the Ph.D. program, I believe the experience I gained helping me to use more data-driven and experiment-driven approaches in my everyday work.
