Alexander Kravchenko

I combine hands-on development, architecture and engineering leadership. I personally hired most of our team. We start by discussing your product and the expertise it needs.

My background includes six years studying software engineering and two years of postgraduate study in information security.

How I select engineers

I conduct technical interviews myself, including live coding without AI assistance. I want to see how an engineer thinks, solves problems, and explains their decisions. I believe AI should amplify an engineer’s capabilities, backed by the ability to work independently.

I also look for ownership: understanding the product, asking questions, and following work through to completion. Before an engagement starts, we agree on each engineer’s allocation and availability. To me, a strong team combines technical ability with accountability.

Maksim Lobov

Principal Engineer

I remember why every weird decision in the codebase was made, and I notice when it stops being right.

I've been on this codebase long enough to remember why every weird decision was made. Most of them were right at the time. My job now is to notice when they stop being right, and to teach the newer folks to see it too.
