Stas Davydov - resume (original) (raw)

Stas Davydov says “Preved!” to the Sun

“I love to work with people”

I look for a challenge to work on WOW! projects.

I can do my best when I…

I want to work for a REALLY FUNKY company (or a company who claims to be funky). A company based on inspiration. A company who pays the most attention to customers (SQUARELY!) and employees (REALLY!). A company with vision. And… what's a MISSION of your company? If your company has one, contact me immediately! If not, contact me right away :)

Something about me…

Leadership

It's my way to unite people to do a job we like and to reach a goal we want. And I'm crazy about motivation. My leadership is based on close contact with people in my team. Basing on intuition, I usually ask questions to understand people better. I think coaching is very good practice. Team leading is my best.

Education

I prefer self-studying with books to try out it after. I also like good trainings. I don't like formal education. It's too slow and often not actual. I like to help people to study things they want.

Production

I see the main target of production process is to get a QUALITY PRODUCT FOR A USER. I feel I know how to succeed this in software development. We need high motivated team of professionals who trust our goal and use best development practices (User Centered Design, for example).

Life

I like a lot: reading and writing books and articles, riding a mountain bike, snowboarding, driving a car. I like to think. And I ♥ to work WITH PEOPLE! :)

Education

In June 2002 I started studying management in the Institute of Economics and Finance, but at the end of 2002 I understood that the classic high degree is not the thing I wanted to have. Maybe I have chosen a wrong institute but everything they taught I later found in some good books about management and related areas. So, I came to the conclusion to stop getting a degree and started reading a lot.

2002, incomplete high degree in Economics. Stopped since the end of 2002.

1994—2000. High degree in Computer Science (Programming).
