Vlad Skvortsov is a Software Engineer at Mailgun, Inc. He possess expertise in scalability, distributed systems, linux, perl, freebsd and 24 more skills. He is proficient in English. Colleagues describe him as "I’ve worked with Vlad for two years, and he’s definitely one of the rare people who made a significant impact on my life — not only as a manager, but as my engineering mentor. I have managed people before I started working with Vlad, but only with his assistance, I realized that I had known almost nothing about people management before. He has a very systematized vision of how people and product management should look like. He’s very experienced in building processes across several teams and in entire small companies — I’ve seen this with my eyes. I think he’s able to build scalable processes because he automates and delegates activities, and also he tries to measure everything: for example, using Net Promoter Score for product decisions or a rubric approved by all the engineering managers when drawing a line between a middle-level and senior software engineer. He participated a lot in my personal growth and thus the growth of my team. He was prepared for every one-on-one (seriously, every single one!) during these two years, with a set of very specific subjects to discuss. He was not only sharing the knowledge but was improving his own skills from day to day. At least once a month he would come to me with something like “Ilya, I’ve read an amazing book (article) that can help us improve the process — how about trying it in practice?” And we would try it on a small project or on one of my teams, analyze the impact, and decide if we needed to adopt the practice for the regular process." and "Vlad is an extremely talented engineer and a great contributor to any team. He is not only a fast learner and an amazing self-starter, but a very organized and methodical team member who can execute equally well both as an individual contributor and a manager. I enjoyed working with Vlad and am looking forward to working with him in the future. "
