I am currently CTO and co-founder of Mint Services. I am responsible for day-to-day operations of our hosting services as we support many businesses in my country.
Along with that, I lead my tech team and like to do programming myself. I actually never decided which I like more - being ops or developer, so I spent a huge amount of time and energy to improve my knowledge and skills in both worlds.
I had a chance to do many things - plan and implement a huge, functional cloud infrastructure based on OpenStack, lead developers or be a part of a team on mid to large scale projects, rescue some poorly executed business plans and fix some insanely bad code... I did a lot in the last 6 years.
Today, I can say for myself that I am a full-stack web developer, coming from PHP backend world and leaning slowly toward more complex JavaScript madness. I actually never liked JavaScript but as I am growing older I somehow started to like it. So, these days I am trying to improve my knowledge of JavaScript as much as I can.
In 2-3 years - who knows, I am thinking about starting a new company and move toward some other projects. I am never certain about technologies, because they come and go and I look at them as tools - a project is just a screw which requires a proper tool.
