Hi, I’m

Kirill Keker

Summary

I have a wide range of knowledge in the IT world, because I was born before the advent of the Internet and saw the formation of modern IT.
I always try to do a retrospective of bygone technologies, even if I didn't catch them in their heyday.
Now, I'm constantly updating my knowledge base with modern technologies, trying to choose large companies for my career.

I have a hobby, I am a paragliding pilot.
In my free time, I like to do things with my hands, like cooking or doing robotics. I like to repair something in the house, because I was born in the family of a craftsman.

Cosmonautics and robotics are my dreams!

I am actively studying English, but so far it is not perfect.

Previous irrelevant experience

Chief Technology Officer
11.2006 - 06.2015

Job overview

This section is for HR's answer to what I did before my first job listed above.

I started as a systems administrator, then I was a network administrator, network engineer, department head and finished as a technical director (CTO) in various large telecom companies. During that time I changed several cities.

There I started my journey towards software development. At first I wrote simple scripts for automating network switches and routers settings, then I added functions to billing systems, then I began to modify monitoring systems, and in the end I created my own network management system in my small company.

And I have several networking certifications including an expert level.

This experience is not relevant to this CV, so I did not describe it in detail.
