Sergey Kibish
Problem Solver. Sorting Chaos.

Who am I

Software Engineer with 10 years of experience in tech (mainly fintech and insurtech). I create clarity where there was confusion/chaos before. I am an expert in listening to customers, understanding their needs and requirements. I make clients happy by solving problems in the simplest ways possible.

I’m walking the path of the Jedi. I started as a young padawan and grew into who I am now, fighting with illogical and unneeded complexities. Along the way gathered hard skills in the backend, DevOps, Cloud, QA, frontend and a little bit of mobile. As a true Jedi, I’ve learned to manipulate abstractions (boxes and arrows). I have an ability to identify the customer’s needs and pain points. I mentor peers and lead by example.

I'm really good at

  • Dealing with change, surprises, and unexpected problems
  • Figuring out how different people can work together productively
  • Making unintelligible or complex ideas, plans, procedures, or regulations easy to understand
  • Remaining calm in the face of unexpected changes, obstacles, or challenges
  • Turning thoughts into actions
  • Finding solutions

What I'm looking to do next

In my next endeavor, I aim to leverage my experiences to help build great teams that can create products loved by many. I will define the vision and serve as the voice of the customer when communicating with others.

Additionally, I would be delighted to represent you at developer conferences, events, hackathons, and with the technical press and educational blogs.

Just imagine what I can bring you.
